"historically system-specific macros have had names with no special
prefix; for instance, it is common to find unix defined on Unix systems.
[...] When the -ansi option, or any -std option that requests strict
conformance, is given to the compiler, all the system-specific predefined
macros outside the reserved namespace are suppressed."


You can see the predefined macros with `cpp -dD /dev/null'.

$ cpp -dD /dev/null
# 1 "/dev/null"
# 1 "<built-in>"
[...]
#define __unix__ 1
#define __unix 1
#define __declspec(x) __attribute__((x))
#define __DECIMAL_BID_FORMAT__ 1
# 1 "<command-line>"
#define unix 1                     <-- this is your problem
# 1 "/dev/null"


With -ansi:

$ cpp -ansi -dD /dev/null
# 1 "/dev/null"
# 1 "<built-in>"
[...]
#define __unix__ 1
#define __unix 1
#define __declspec(x) __attribute__((x))
#define __DECIMAL_BID_FORMAT__ 1
# 1 "<command-line>"
# 1 "/dev/null"


$ cpp --version
cpp (GCC) 6.4.0


You can undefine the unix macro or rename the unix struct.
