/**
 * \file
 * \brief Basic types for the platform.
 *
 * This file used to be generated by autoconf/configure.
 * Starting with ICU 49, platform.h is a normal source file,
 * to simplify cross-compiling and working with non-autoconf/make build systems.
 *
 * When a value in this file does not work on a platform, then please
 * try to derive it from the U_PLATFORM value
 * (for which we might need a new value constant in rare cases)
 * and/or from other macros that are predefined by the compiler
 * or defined in standard (POSIX or platform or compiler) headers.
 *
 * As a temporary workaround, you can add an explicit <code>#define</code> for some macros
 * before it is first tested, or add an equivalent -D macro definition
 * to the compiler's command line.
 *
 * Note: Some compilers provide ways to show the predefined macros.
 * For example, with gcc you can compile an empty .c file and have the compiler
 * print the predefined macros with
 * \code
 * gcc -E -dM -x c /dev/null | sort
 * \endcode
 * (You can provide an actual empty .c file rather than /dev/null.
 * <code>-x c++</code> is for C++.)

 * \def U_PLATFORM
 * The U_PLATFORM macro defines the platform we're on.

 *
 * Starting with ICU 49, we define platforms as numeric macros,
 * with ranges of values for related platforms and their variants.
 * The U_PLATFORM macro is set to one of these values.

 * Historical note from the Solaris Wikipedia article:
 * AT&T and Sun collaborated on a project to merge the most popular Unix variants
 * on the market at that time: BSD, System V, and Xenix.
 * This became Unix System V Release 4 (SVR4).
