Oh wait....it's even weirder.
Check out
/usr/include/c++/4.1.2/tr1/functional_iterate.h, line 398:
_Placeholder<_GLIBCXX_NUM_ARGS> _GLIBCXX_JOIN(_,_GLIBCXX_NUM_ARGS);
They actually use a single underscore as an argument to _GLIBCXX_JOIN,
whatever that is. Now look again at petscerror.h, line 262:
#define _ __gierr =
They are actually redefining "underscore." I have no clue why but
that can't be good programming practice.
