那就是个宏，具体什么作用要看它的定义

BTW, 单从语法看，也可以是个函数。不过 _ 通常是个和 gettext 相关的宏。

If you have GNU gettext, you can read about it on one of the gettext info
pages:

     Many packages use `_' (a simple underline) as a keyword, and write
  `_("Translatable string"' instead of `gettext ("Translatable
  string"'.  Further, the coding rule, from GNU standards, wanting that
  there is a space between the keyword and the opening parenthesis is
  relaxed, in practice, for this particular usage.  So, the textual
  overhead per translatable string is reduced to only three characters:
  the underline and the two parentheses.  However, even if GNU `gettext'
  uses this convention internally, it does not offer it officially.  The
  real, genuine keyword is truly `gettext' indeed.  It is fairly easy for
  those wanting to use `_' instead of `gettext' to declare:

       #include <libintl.h>
       #define _(String) gettext (String)

  instead of merely using `#include <libintl.h>'.
