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 ()) | ||
