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 +   */ +#ifndef _GL_WARN_ON_USE + +# if 4 < __GNUC__ || (__GNUC__ == 4 && 3 <= __GNUC_MINOR__) +/* A compiler attribute is available in gcc versions 4.3.0 and later.  */ +#  define _GL_WARN_ON_USE(function, message) \ +extern __typeof__ (function) function __attribute__ ((__warning__ (message))) +# elif __GNUC__ >= 3 && GNULIB_STRICT_CHECKING +/* Verify the existence of the function.  */ +#  define _GL_WARN_ON_USE(function, message) \ +extern __typeof__ (function) function +# else /* Unsupported.  */ +#  define _GL_WARN_ON_USE(function, message) \ +_GL_WARN_EXTERN_C int _gl_warn_on_use +# endif +#endif + +/* _GL_WARN_ON_USE_CXX (function, rettype, parameters_and_attributes, "string") +   is like _GL_WARN_ON_USE (function, "string"), except that the function is +   declared with the given prototype, consisting of return type, parameters, +   and attributes. +   This variant is useful for overloaded functions in C++. _GL_WARN_ON_USE does +   not work in this case.  */ +#ifndef _GL_WARN_ON_USE_CXX +# if 4 < __GNUC__ || (__GNUC__ == 4 && 3 <= __GNUC_MINOR__) +#  define _GL_WARN_ON_USE_CXX(function,rettype,parameters_and_attributes,msg) \ +extern rettype function parameters_and_attributes \ +     __attribute__ ((__warning__ (msg))) +# elif __GNUC__ >= 3 && GNULIB_STRICT_CHECKING +/* Verify the existence of the function.  */ +#  define _GL_WARN_ON_USE_CXX(function,rettype,parameters_and_attributes,msg) \ +extern rettype function parameters_and_attributes +# else /* Unsupported.  */ +#  define _GL_WARN_ON_USE_CXX(function,rettype,parameters_and_attributes,msg) \ +_GL_WARN_EXTERN_C int _gl_warn_on_use +# endif +#endif + +/* _GL_WARN_EXTERN_C declaration; +   performs the declaration with C linkage.  */ +#ifndef _GL_WARN_EXTERN_C +# if defined __cplusplus +#  define _GL_WARN_EXTERN_C extern "C" +# else +#  define _GL_WARN_EXTERN_C extern +# endif +#endif |
