/* _GL_WARN_ON_USE (function, "literal string") issues a declaration
for FUNCTION which will then trigger a compiler warning containing
the text of "literal string" anywhere that function is called, if
supported by the compiler. 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 inline 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
