When attempting to compile the following code on Mac OS X

#include
#include
#include

int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
// insert code here...
CFShow(CFSTR("Hello, World!\n"));
return 0;
}

The following error is generated

* Prior to Mac OS X 10.6 the macro names used in this file conflicted with some
* user code, including libraries in boost and the proposed C++ standards efforts,
* and there was no way for a client of this header to resolve this conflict. Because
* of this, most of the macros have been changed so that they are prefixed with
* __ and contain at least one capital letter, which should alleviate the current
* and future conflicts. However, to allow current sources to continue to compile,
* compatibility macros are defined at the end with the old names. A tops script
* at the end of this file will convert all of the old macro names used in a directory
* to the new names. Clients are recommended to migrate over to these new macros as
* they update their sources because a future release of Mac OS X will remove the
* old macro definitions ( without the double-underscore prefix ). Clients who
* want to compile without the old macro definitions can define the macro
* __ASSERT_MACROS_DEFINE_VERSIONS_WITHOUT_UNDERSCORES to 0 before this file is
* included.
