<h3 class="section">2.8 System Headers</h3>
|
|
<a name="index-system-header-files-1"></a>
|
|
|
|
<p>The header files declaring interfaces to the operating system and
|
|
runtime libraries often cannot be written in strictly conforming C.
|
|
Therefore, GCC gives code found in <em>system headers</em> special
|
|
treatment. All warnings, other than those generated by ‘<samp>#warning</samp>’
|
|
(see <a href="Diagnostics.html#Diagnostics">Diagnostics</a>), are suppressed while GCC is processing a system
|
|
header. Macros defined in a system header are immune to a few warnings
|
|
wherever they are expanded. This immunity is granted on an ad-hoc
|
|
basis, when we find that a warning generates lots of false positives
|
|
because of code in macros defined in system headers.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>Normally, only the headers found in specific directories are considered
|
|
system headers. These directories are determined when GCC is compiled.
|
|
There are, however, two ways to make normal headers into system headers.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>The <samp>-isystem</samp> command-line option adds its argument to the list of
|
|
directories to search for headers, just like <samp>-I</samp>. Any headers
|
|
found in that directory will be considered system headers.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>All directories named by <samp>-isystem</samp> are searched <em>after</em> all
|
|
directories named by <samp>-I</samp>, no matter what their order was on the
|
|
command line. If the same directory is named by both <samp>-I</samp> and
|
|
<samp>-isystem</samp>, the <samp>-I</samp> option is ignored. GCC provides an
|
|
informative message when this occurs if <samp>-v</samp> is used.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<a name="index-_0023pragma-GCC-system_005fheader"></a>
|
|
<p>There is also a directive, <code>#pragma GCC <span class="nolinebreak">system_header</span><!-- /@w --></code>, which
|
|
tells GCC to consider the rest of the current include file a system
|
|
header, no matter where it was found. Code that comes before the
|
|
‘<samp>#pragma</samp>’ in the file will not be affected. <code>#pragma GCC <span class="nolinebreak">system_header</span><!-- /@w --></code> has no effect in the primary source file.
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>On very old systems, some of the pre-defined system header directories
|
|
get even more special treatment. GNU C++ considers code in headers
|
|
found in those directories to be surrounded by an <code>extern "C"<!-- /@w --></code>
|
|
block. There is no way to request this behavior with a ‘<samp>#pragma</samp>’,
|
|
or from the command line.
