<h4 class="subsection">6.59.10 Diagnostic Pragmas</h4>
<p>GCC allows the user to selectively enable or disable certain types of
diagnostics, and change the kind of the diagnostic. For example, a
project&rsquo;s policy might require that all sources compile with
<samp>-Werror</samp> but certain files might have exceptions allowing
specific types of warnings. Or, a project might selectively enable
diagnostics and treat them as errors depending on which preprocessor
macros are defined.
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>#pragma GCC diagnostic <var>kind</var> <var>option</var></code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-pragma_002c-diagnostic"></a>
<p>Modifies the disposition of a diagnostic. Note that not all
diagnostics are modifiable; at the moment only warnings (normally
controlled by &lsquo;<samp>-W&hellip;</samp>&rsquo;) can be controlled, and not all of them.
Use <samp>-fdiagnostics-show-option</samp> to determine which diagnostics
are controllable and which option controls them.
</p>
<p><var>kind</var> is &lsquo;<samp>error</samp>&rsquo; to treat this diagnostic as an error,
&lsquo;<samp>warning</samp>&rsquo; to treat it like a warning (even if <samp>-Werror</samp> is
in effect), or &lsquo;<samp>ignored</samp>&rsquo; if the diagnostic is to be ignored.
<var>option</var> is a double quoted string that matches the command-line
option.
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">#pragma GCC diagnostic warning &quot;-Wformat&quot;
#pragma GCC diagnostic error &quot;-Wformat&quot;
#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored &quot;-Wformat&quot;
</pre></div>
<p>Note that these pragmas override any command-line options. GCC keeps
track of the location of each pragma, and issues diagnostics according
to the state as of that point in the source file. Thus, pragmas occurring
after a line do not affect diagnostics caused by that line.
</p>
</dd>
<dt><code>#pragma GCC diagnostic push</code></dt>
<dt><code>#pragma GCC diagnostic pop</code></dt>
<dd>
<p>Causes GCC to remember the state of the diagnostics as of each
<code>push</code>, and restore to that point at each <code>pop</code>. If a
<code>pop</code> has no matching <code>push</code>, the command-line options are
restored.
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">#pragma GCC diagnostic error &quot;-Wuninitialized&quot;
foo(a); /* error is given for this one */
#pragma GCC diagnostic push
#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored &quot;-Wuninitialized&quot;
foo(b); /* no diagnostic for this one */
#pragma GCC diagnostic pop
foo(c); /* error is given for this one */
#pragma GCC diagnostic pop
foo(d); /* depends on command-line options */
</pre></div>
</dd>
</dl>
<p>GCC also offers a simple mechanism for printing messages during
compilation.
</p>
<dl compact="compact">
<dt><code>#pragma message <var>string</var></code></dt>
<dd><a name="index-pragma_002c-diagnostic-1"></a>
<p>Prints <var>string</var> as a compiler message on compilation. The message
is informational only, and is neither a compilation warning nor an error.
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">#pragma message &quot;Compiling &quot; __FILE__ &quot;...&quot;
</pre></div>
<p><var>string</var> may be parenthesized, and is printed with location
information. For example,
</p>
<div class="smallexample">
<pre class="smallexample">#define DO_PRAGMA(x) _Pragma (#x)
#define TODO(x) DO_PRAGMA(message (&quot;TODO - &quot; #x))
TODO(Remember to fix this)
</pre></div>
<p>prints &lsquo;<samp>/tmp/file.c:4: note: #pragma message:
TODO - Remember to fix this</samp>&rsquo;.
</p>
</dd>
