224 /* --- Diagnostic suppression in GCC: a tale of woe --- *
225 *
226 * This is extremely unpleasant, largely as a result of bugs in the GCC
227 * preprocessor's handling of @_Pragma@. The fundamental problem is
228 * that it's the preprocessor, and not the compiler proper, which
229 * detects @_Pragma@, emitting @#pragma@ lines into its output; and it
230 * does it during macro expansion, even if the macro is being expanded
231 * during argument collection. Since arguments are expanded before
232 * replacing the macro's invocation with its body, a pragma in an
233 * argument will be emitted %%\emph{before}%% any pragmata in the body,
234 * even if they appear before the argument in the body -- and even if
235 * the argument doesn't actually appear anywhere at all in the body.
236 *
237 * Another, rather less significant, problem is that @_Pragma@'s
238 * argument is a single string literal, recognized in translation phase
239 * 4, before string-literal concatenation in phase 6, so we must build
240 * pragma bodies as token lists and then stringify them.
241 *
242 * As a result, we need some subterfuge here. The @MLIB__PRAGMA_HACK@
243 * macro issues a @_Pragma@ on its argument token list, which it
244 * stringifies; this deals with the second problem. The first is
245 * trickier: we must delay expansion of @MLIB__PRAGMA_HACK@ from the
246 * argument collection phase to the body rescanning phase, and we do
247 * this by splitting the invocations between @GCC_WARNING@ macro calls:
248 * the name is left hanging from the previous call (or from
249 * @MLIB__MUFFLE_WARNINGS@, in the first case) and the body is supplied
250 * by @GCC_WARNING@, which also supplies the next @MLIB__PRAGMA_HACK@.
251 * The remaining problem is to make sure we can dispose of the final
252 * trailing @MLIB__PRAGMA_HACK@ harmlessly, which we do by introducing
253 * an extra argument @emitp@, which may be either @t@ or @nil@; this
254 * dispatches to an appropriate helper macro by means of token-pasting.
255 *
256 * I'm so sorry.
