Hello,

are you sure about that file ?
Sure yes. It has been inside Cygwin snapshots since end of last December. It was
introduced in newlib near the 22nd October 2012. I suppose that other occurrences of
_XOPEN_SOURCE have to be checked.

% cygcheck -f /usr/include/string.h
cygwin-1.7.17-1
% uname -a
CYGWIN_NT-5.1 jupiter 1.7.18s(0.263/5/3) 20130111 15:37:20 i686 Cygwin

See http://cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2011-02/msg00534.html (and many others).

looking at CVS source. the one you found should be the only occurrence, and it is coming from newlib

src/newlib/libc/include/string.h:#if !defined(__STRICT_ANSI__) || (_XOPEN_SOURCE >= 500)
src/newlib/libc/include/string.h:#if !defined(__STRICT_ANSI__) || (_XOPEN_SOURCE >= 700)


in the only other place it is already implemented like taht

src/newlib/libc/include/sys/features.h: #if (_XOPEN_SOURCE - 0) == 700 /* POSIX.1-2008 */
src/newlib/libc/include/sys/features.h: #elif (_XOPEN_SOURCE - 0) == 600 /* POSIX.1-2001 or 2004 */
src/newlib/libc/include/sys/features.h: #elif (_XOPEN_SOURCE - 0) == 500 /* POSIX.1-1995 */
src/newlib/libc/include/sys/features.h: #elif (_XOPEN_SOURCE - 0) < 500 /* really old */


and there is a specific note on the matter:

* _POSIX_C_SOURCE if _XOPEN_SOURCE is defined and _POSIX_C_SOURCE is not.
* (_XOPEN_SOURCE indicates that XSI extensions are desired by an application.)
* Allow for _XOPEN_SOURCE to be empty (from the earliest form of it, before it
