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 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
