 In C++, identifiers that contain two consecutive underscores are reserved for compiler implementations. The Microsoft convention is to precede Microsoft-specific keywords with double underscores. These words can't be used as identifier names.
 
-Microsoft extensions are enabled by default. To ensure that your programs are fully portable, you can disable Microsoft extensions by specifying the [`/permissive-`](../build/reference/permissive-standards-conformance.md) or [`/Za` \(Disable language extensions)](../build/reference/za-ze-disable-language-extensions.md) option during compilation. These options disable some Microsoft-specific keywords.

 When Microsoft extensions are enabled, you can use the Microsoft-specific keywords in your programs. For ANSI conformance, these keywords are prefaced by a double underscore. For backward compatibility, single-underscore versions of many of the double-underscored keywords are supported. The **`__cdecl`** keyword is available with no leading underscore.

 These identifiers are extended attributes for the **`__declspec`** modifier. They're considered keywords within that context.
