See below

Yes if ansi cpp (__ANSI_CPP__ is defined), no if not.
I have not figured out, or seen, any portable way to determine if ANSI CPP
or traditional Reiser cpp is in use.

I've been convinced that I was being wrongheaded: future releases 
WILL define __STDC__ with -xansi.

At that time, you will be able to test __STDC__

For now, well.....
