| 17 /* _GL_WARN_ON_USE (function, "literal string") issues a declaration | |
| 18 for FUNCTION which will then trigger a compiler warning containing | |
| 19 the text of "literal string" anywhere that function is called, if | |
| 20 supported by the compiler. If the compiler does not support this | |
| 21 feature, the macro expands to an unused extern declaration. | |
| 22 | |
| 23 This macro is useful for marking a function as a potential | |
| 24 portability trap, with the intent that "literal string" include | |
| 25 instructions on the replacement function that should be used | |
| 26 instead. However, one of the reasons that a function is a | |
| 27 portability trap is if it has the wrong signature. Declaring | |
| 28 FUNCTION with a different signature in C is a compilation error, so | |
| 29 this macro must use the same type as any existing declaration so | |
| 30 that programs that avoid the problematic FUNCTION do not fail to | |
| 31 compile merely because they included a header that poisoned the | |
| 32 function. But this implies that _GL_WARN_ON_USE is only safe to | |
| 33 use if FUNCTION is known to already have a declaration. Use of | |
| 34 this macro implies that there must not be any other macro hiding | |
| 35 the declaration of FUNCTION; but undefining FUNCTION first is part | |
| 36 of the poisoning process anyway (although for symbols that are | |
| 37 provided only via a macro, the result is a compilation error rather | |
| 38 than a warning containing "literal string"). Also note that in | |
| 39 C++, it is only safe to use if FUNCTION has no overloads. | |
| 40 | |
| 41 For an example, it is possible to poison 'getline' by: | |
| 42 - adding a call to gl_WARN_ON_USE_PREPARE([[#include <stdio.h>]], | |
| 43 [getline]) in configure.ac, which potentially defines | |
| 44 HAVE_RAW_DECL_GETLINE | |
| 45 - adding this code to a header that wraps the system <stdio.h>: | |
| 46 #undef getline | |
| 47 #if HAVE_RAW_DECL_GETLINE | |
| 48 _GL_WARN_ON_USE (getline, "getline is required by POSIX 2008, but" | |
| 49 "not universally present; use the gnulib module getline"); | |
| 50 #endif | |
| 51 | |
| 52 It is not possible to directly poison global variables. But it is | |
| 53 possible to write a wrapper accessor function, and poison that | |
| 54 (less common usage, like &environ, will cause a compilation error | |
| 55 rather than issue the nice warning, but the end result of informing | |
| 56 the developer about their portability problem is still achieved): | |
| 57 #if HAVE_RAW_DECL_ENVIRON | |
| 58 static inline char ***rpl_environ (void) { return &environ; } | |
| 59 _GL_WARN_ON_USE (rpl_environ, "environ is not always properly declared"); | |
| 60 # undef environ | |
| 61 # define environ (*rpl_environ ()) | |
| 62 #endif | |
