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.
