#define __STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS的作用

最近在学FFmpeg，看到demo开头有这么一行#define __STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS 瞬间就懵了（好吧，我是搞java的）经过一番搜索后，其作用为：

__STDC_LIMIT_MACROS and __STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS are a workaround to allow C++ programs to use stdint.h macros specified in the C99 standard that aren't in the C++ standard. The macros, such as UINT8_MAX, INT64_MIN, and INT32_C() may be defined already in C++ applications in other ways. To allow the user to decide if they want the macros defined as C99 does, many implementations require that __STDC_LIMIT_MACROS and __STDC_CONSTANT_MACROS be defined before stdint.h is included.This isn't part of the C++ standard, but it has been adopted by more than one implementation.
