They look OK to me, at least they are valid ANSI C.  Technically to
test for ANSI C the #ifdef should be followed by:-

#if __STDC__ == 1

but this seems unreasonably enthusiastic (and omitting the #ifdef
would seem to rely too much on having a preprocessor which converts
unrecognised tokens to ``0'').
