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 ())
80 #endif
