<h2 class="chapter">7 Pragmas</h2>
|
|
|
|
<p>The ‘<samp>#pragma</samp>’ directive is the method specified by the C standard
|
|
for providing additional information to the compiler, beyond what is
|
|
conveyed in the language itself. The forms of this directive
|
|
(commonly known as <em>pragmas</em>) specified by C standard are prefixed with
|
|
<code>STDC</code>. A C compiler is free to attach any meaning it likes to other
|
|
pragmas. All GNU-defined, supported pragmas have been given a
|
|
<code>GCC</code> prefix.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<a name="index-_005fPragma"></a>
|
|
<p>C99 introduced the <code><span class="nolinebreak">_Pragma</span><!-- /@w --></code> operator. This feature addresses a
|
|
major problem with ‘<samp>#pragma</samp>’: being a directive, it cannot be
|
|
produced as the result of macro expansion. <code><span class="nolinebreak">_Pragma</span><!-- /@w --></code> is an
|
|
operator, much like <code>sizeof</code> or <code>defined</code>, and can be embedded
|
|
in a macro.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Its syntax is <code><span class="nolinebreak">_Pragma</span> (<var><span class="nolinebreak">string-literal</span></var>)<!-- /@w --></code>, where
|
|
<var>string-literal</var> can be either a normal or wide-character string
|
|
literal. It is destringized, by replacing all ‘<samp>\\</samp>’ with a single
|
|
‘<samp>\</samp>’ and all ‘<samp>\"</samp>’ with a ‘<samp>"</samp>’. The result is then
|
|
processed as if it had appeared as the right hand side of a
|
|
‘<samp>#pragma</samp>’ directive. For example,
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">_Pragma ("GCC dependency \"parse.y\"")
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>has the same effect as <code>#pragma GCC dependency "parse.y"</code>. The
|
|
same effect could be achieved using macros, for example
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">#define DO_PRAGMA(x) _Pragma (#x)
|
|
DO_PRAGMA (GCC dependency "parse.y")
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>The standard is unclear on where a <code>_Pragma</code> operator can appear.
|
|
The preprocessor does not accept it within a preprocessing conditional
|
|
directive like ‘<samp>#if</samp>’. To be safe, you are probably best keeping it
|
|
out of directives other than ‘<samp>#define</samp>’, and putting it on a line of
|
|
its own.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>This manual documents the pragmas which are meaningful to the
|
|
preprocessor itself. Other pragmas are meaningful to the C or C++
|
|
compilers. They are documented in the GCC manual.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>GCC plugins may provide their own pragmas.

<dd><p><code>#pragma GCC dependency</code> allows you to check the relative dates of
|
|
the current file and another file. If the other file is more recent than
|
|
the current file, a warning is issued. This is useful if the current
|
|
file is derived from the other file, and should be regenerated. The
|
|
other file is searched for using the normal include search path.
|
|
Optional trailing text can be used to give more information in the
|
|
warning message.

<dt><code>#pragma GCC poison</code>

<a name="index-_0023pragma-GCC-poison"></a>
|
|
</dt>
|
|
<dd><p>Sometimes, there is an identifier that you want to remove completely
|
|
from your program, and make sure that it never creeps back in. To
|
|
enforce this, you can <em>poison</em> the identifier with this pragma.
|
|
<code>#pragma GCC poison</code> is followed by a list of identifiers to
|
|
poison. If any of those identifiers appears anywhere in the source
|
|
after the directive, it is a hard error. For example,
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">#pragma GCC poison printf sprintf fprintf
|
|
sprintf(some_string, "hello");
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>will produce an error.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>If a poisoned identifier appears as part of the expansion of a macro
|
|
which was defined before the identifier was poisoned, it will <em>not</em>
|
|
cause an error. This lets you poison an identifier without worrying
|
|
about system headers defining macros that use it.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>For example,
|
|
</p>
|
|
<div class="smallexample">
|
|
<pre class="smallexample">#define strrchr rindex
|
|
#pragma GCC poison rindex
|
|
strrchr(some_string, 'h');
|
|
</pre></div>
|
|
|
|
<p>will not produce an error.

<dt><code>#pragma GCC system_header</code>
|
|
<a name="index-_0023pragma-GCC-system_005fheader-1"></a>
|
|
</dt>
|
|
<dd><p>This pragma takes no arguments. It causes the rest of the code in the
|
|
current file to be treated as if it came from a system header.
|
|
See <a href="System-Headers.html#System-Headers">System Headers</a>.
|
|

|
<dt><code>#pragma GCC warning</code>
|
|
<a name="index-_0023pragma-GCC-warning"></a>

|
|
<dt><code>#pragma GCC error</code>
|
|
<a name="index-_0023pragma-GCC-error"></a>
|
|
</dt>
|
|
<dd><p><code>#pragma GCC warning "message"</code> causes the preprocessor to issue
|
|
a warning diagnostic with the text ‘<samp>message</samp>’. The message
|
|
contained in the pragma must be a single string literal. Similarly,
|
|
<code>#pragma GCC error "message"</code> issues an error message. Unlike
|
|
the ‘<samp>#warning</samp>’ and ‘<samp>#error</samp>’ directives, these pragmas can be
|
|
embedded in preprocessor macros using ‘<samp>_Pragma</samp>’.
