-/* _GL_WARN_ON_USE (function, "literal string") issues a declaration
- for FUNCTION which will then trigger a compiler warning containing
- the text of "literal string" anywhere that function is called, if
- supported by the compiler. If the compiler does not support this
- feature, the macro expands to an unused extern declaration.
-
- This macro is useful for marking a function as a potential
- portability trap, with the intent that "literal string" include
- instructions on the replacement function that should be used
- instead. However, one of the reasons that a function is a
- portability trap is if it has the wrong signature. Declaring
- FUNCTION with a different signature in C is a compilation error, so
- this macro must use the same type as any existing declaration so
- that programs that avoid the problematic FUNCTION do not fail to
- compile merely because they included a header that poisoned the
- function. But this implies that _GL_WARN_ON_USE is only safe to
- use if FUNCTION is known to already have a declaration. Use of
- this macro implies that there must not be any other macro hiding
- the declaration of FUNCTION; but undefining FUNCTION first is part
- of the poisoning process anyway (although for symbols that are
- provided only via a macro, the result is a compilation error rather
- than a warning containing "literal string"). Also note that in
- C++, it is only safe to use if FUNCTION has no overloads.
-
- For an example, it is possible to poison 'getline' by:
- - adding a call to gl_WARN_ON_USE_PREPARE([[#include <stdio.h>]],
- [getline]) in configure.ac, which potentially defines
- HAVE_RAW_DECL_GETLINE
- - adding this code to a header that wraps the system <stdio.h>:
- #undef getline
- #if HAVE_RAW_DECL_GETLINE
- _GL_WARN_ON_USE (getline, "getline is required by POSIX 2008, but"
- "not universally present; use the gnulib module getline");
- #endif
-
- It is not possible to directly poison global variables. But it is
- possible to write a wrapper accessor function, and poison that
- (less common usage, like &environ, will cause a compilation error
- rather than issue the nice warning, but the end result of informing
- the developer about their portability problem is still achieved):
- #if HAVE_RAW_DECL_ENVIRON
- static char ***rpl_environ (void) { return &environ; }
- _GL_WARN_ON_USE (rpl_environ, "environ is not always properly declared");
- # undef environ
- # define environ (*rpl_environ ())
- #endif
