Subject: why no preprocessor #warning or #note directives?
Date: Sun, 22 Jan 2006 08:39:08 -0500 (EST) [thread overview]
Message-ID: <Pine.LNX.4.63.0601220835530.4077@localhost.localdomain> (raw)
not a big deal, but i'm curious why C hasn't been extended to
include the gcc extension #warning macro?
more to the point, why not additional directives like, say, #note or
#info. there are times (in gcc) when i want some feedback from the
preprocessor as it's running and i'll use #warning. but i'm not happy
with that since what's happening isn't something that really requires
a "warning", it's just something i wanted to know about.
was there ever any discussion to add an extra information directive
or two to the preprocessor? just curious. it doesn't seem like this
would be a major issue in terms of enhancement.
