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