+/* _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.
+
+ _GL_WARN_ON_USE_ATTRIBUTE ("literal string") expands to the
+ attribute used in _GL_WARN_ON_USE. If the compiler does not support
+ this feature, it expands to empty.
+
+ These macros are 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.
+ _GL_WARN_ON_USE is for functions with 'extern' linkage.
+ _GL_WARN_ON_USE_ATTRIBUTE is for functions with 'static' or 'inline'
+ linkage.
+
+ 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 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
+ or better (avoiding contradictory use of 'static' and 'extern'):
+ #if HAVE_RAW_DECL_ENVIRON
+ static char ***
+ _GL_WARN_ON_USE_ATTRIBUTE ("environ is not always properly declared")
+ rpl_environ (void) { return &environ; }
+ # undef environ
+ # define environ (*rpl_environ ())
+ #endif
