25 ?S: This variable contains the eventual value of the VOIDFLAGS symbol,
26 ?S: which indicates how much support of the void type is given by this
27 ?S: compiler. See VOIDFLAGS for more info.
30 ?S: This variable contains the default value of the VOIDUSED symbol (15).
32 ?X: Exceptionally, we have to explicitly alias the symbol name for
33 ?X: config_h.SH, otherwise the comment would not appear.
35 ?C: This symbol indicates how much support of the void type is given by this
36 ?C: compiler. What various bits mean:
38 ?C: 1 = supports declaration of void
39 ?C: 2 = supports arrays of pointers to functions returning void
40 ?C: 4 = supports comparisons between pointers to void functions and
41 ?C: addresses of void functions
42 ?C: 8 = supports declaration of generic void pointers
44 ?C: The package designer should define VOIDUSED to indicate the requirements
45 ?C: of the package. This can be done either by #defining VOIDUSED before
46 ?C: including config.h, or by defining defvoidused in Myinit.U. If the
47 ?C: latter approach is taken, only those flags will be tested. If the
48 ?C: level of void support necessary is not present, defines void to int.

145 ?X: Only prompt user if support does not match the level we want
149 Support flag bits are:
150 1: basic void declarations.
151 2: arrays of pointers to functions returning void.
152 4: operations between pointers to and addresses of void functions.
153 8: generic void pointers.
