<h3 class="section">10.4 Traditional warnings</h3>
|
||
|
|
<p>You can request warnings about features that did not exist, or worked
|
||
|
|
differently, in traditional C with the <samp>-Wtraditional</samp> option.
|
||
|
|
GCC does not warn about features of ISO C which you must use when you
|
||
|
|
are using a conforming compiler, such as the ‘<samp>#</samp>’ and ‘<samp>##</samp>’
|
||
|
|
operators.
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<p>Presently <samp>-Wtraditional</samp> warns about:
|
||
|
|
</p>
|
||
|
|
<ul>
|
||
|
|
<li> Macro parameters that appear within string literals in the macro body.
|
||
|
|
In traditional C macro replacement takes place within string literals,
|
||
|
|
but does not in ISO C.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</li><li> In traditional C, some preprocessor directives did not exist.
|
||
|
|
Traditional preprocessors would only consider a line to be a directive
|
||
|
|
if the ‘<samp>#</samp>’ appeared in column 1 on the line. Therefore
|
||
|
|
<samp>-Wtraditional</samp> warns about directives that traditional C
|
||
|
|
understands but would ignore because the ‘<samp>#</samp>’ does not appear as the
|
||
|
|
first character on the line. It also suggests you hide directives like
|
||
|
|
‘<samp>#pragma</samp>’ not understood by traditional C by indenting them. Some
|
||
|
|
traditional implementations would not recognize ‘<samp>#elif</samp>’, so it
|
||
|
|
suggests avoiding it altogether.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</li><li> A function-like macro that appears without an argument list. In some
|
||
|
|
traditional preprocessors this was an error. In ISO C it merely means
|
||
|
|
that the macro is not expanded.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</li><li> The unary plus operator. This did not exist in traditional C.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
</li><li> The ‘<samp>U</samp>’ and ‘<samp>LL</samp>’ integer constant suffixes, which were not
|
||
|
|
available in traditional C. (Traditional C does support the ‘<samp>L</samp>’
|
||
|
|
suffix for simple long integer constants.) You are not warned about
|
||
|
|
uses of these suffixes in macros defined in system headers. For
|
||
|
|
instance, <code>UINT_MAX</code> may well be defined as <code>4294967295U</code>, but
|
||
|
|
you will not be warned if you use <code>UINT_MAX</code>.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
<p>You can usually avoid the warning, and the related warning about
|
||
|
|
constants which are so large that they are unsigned, by writing the
|
||
|
|
integer constant in question in hexadecimal, with no U suffix. Take
|
||
|
|
care, though, because this gives the wrong result in exotic cases.
