The #pragma GCC diagnostic family previously issued a warning for unrecognized pragmas. They are now parsed and handled so that they can be emitted in the resulting code.

Closes: #182

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added support for recognizing GCC diagnostic pragmas, including warning controls and push/pop directives. Supported forms vary by compiler mode and version.
• Bug Fixes
  • Supported diagnostic pragmas no longer trigger unrecognized-pragma warnings. Invalid or unsupported forms and missing or malformed options continue to produce diagnostics.
• Tests
  • Added coverage for supported and invalid pragma forms across compiler modes and versions.

Walkthrough

The preprocessor now recognizes supported #pragma GCC diagnostic forms, subject to compiler-mode and GNU-version conditions. Regression tests cover supported and malformed forms. Imported test expectations remove warnings for recognized pragmas.

Changes: GCC diagnostic pragma handling

Layer / File(s)	Summary
Pragma recognition src/il_def.h, src/preproc.c, src/pending_changes/*	Adds a pragma-kind value and dispatch logic for diagnostic directives. Supported forms include error, warning, and ignored; push and pop depend on GNU version, ignored_attributes requires GNU 12 or later, and fatal requires Clang mode. Action forms warn when the argument is missing or is not a narrow string literal.
Regression coverage tests/tests/regressions/gh-182*.sft.cpp, tests/tests/regressions/.gh-182*.rto/*	Adds tests for supported forms, compiler/version conditions, and malformed or unsupported forms, with expected diagnostics and test commands.
Imported expected outputs tests/tests/changes/*, tests/tests/imported/clang/*, tests/tests/imported/gnu/c/*, tests/tests/imported/gnu/cpp/*	Updates expected outputs to remove unrecognized-pragma warnings for diagnostic directives. Other expected diagnostics remain in many fixtures.

Possibly related issues

• edgcpp/compiler#82 — The issue concerns GCC diagnostic pragmas in generated C, but its stated __dummy padding-field cause is separate and is not addressed here.

Suggested labels: bug

Suggested reviewers: daveedvdv-nvidia, darkarc

Merge Risk: Moderate · up to 20aaa

Generated C diagnostics can be suppressed or enabled over the wrong region, and one supported configuration silently accepts an unsupported pragma. These issues should be fixed before merge.

Security architecture risk: Minimal · up to 20aaa

The change uses the existing pragma-processing pipeline without introducing new privileges or execution paths. C++ output retains its existing pass-through behavior, while C output stops emitting recognized diagnostic pragmas that it cannot position correctly. No material security risk was identified in these changes.

Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.

Security review details

Security Blast Radius

• inferred — The relevant exposure is compiler input influencing diagnostic acceptance and downstream generated-code diagnostics. The inspected change does not expand C++ pass-through authority; recognized directives instead cease reaching the C-output sink.

Trust Boundaries and Controls

• observed — Recognition checks the diagnostic form, compiler mode or version where applicable, and the operand’s string-literal character kind. These are compatibility checks, not a restriction on downstream C++ warning-control authority: the preserved pragma text still reaches the existing backend emitter.

Full details: Title check

Explanation

The title names the main change: parsing and handling of #pragma GCC diagnostic. The raw summary confirms that src/il_def.h adds the gcc_pk_diagnostic pragma kind, and src/preproc.c adds process_gnu_diagnostic_pragma to recognize diagnostic push/pop and the error, warning, ignored, fatal, and ignored_attributes kinds. The test expectations drop the unrecognized GCC pragma warnings, and the pending-changes entry describes the same behavior. The GH #182 reference matches the linked issue, which asks that these pragmas stop producing unrecognized-pragma warnings.

Full details: Linked Issues check

Explanation

Issue #182 is the only active directly linked issue. Its coding requirement [#182]: GNU mode must accept #pragma GCC diagnostic push, #pragma GCC diagnostic ignored "-Wunused-parameter", and #pragma GCC diagnostic pop silently at gnu_version 150000, without warning #1675-D. Whole-PR diff (merge base to head) of src/preproc.c adds process_gnu_diagnostic_pragma. gcc_pragma now dispatches the diagnostic identifier to this helper. For push and pop, the helper returns recognized when clang_mode or gnu_version >= 40600. For ignored, it returns recognized and requires a plain-char string literal, otherwise it emits ec_exp_string_literal. Recognized forms set the kind to gcc_pk_diagnostic (src/il_def.h), so the unrecognized-GCC-pragma path is skipped. The reproducer forms therefore produce no unrecognized-pragma warning at gnu_version 150000. Regression tests tests/tests/regressions/gh-182.sft.cpp, gh-182b.sft.cpp, and gh-182-negative.sft.cpp, with their .rto fixtures, cover accepted and malformed forms. Limits: the test suite was not executed. The verdict relies on source inspection and on the fixture summaries.

Full details: Out of Scope Changes check

Explanation

All source changes relate to #182. src/preproc.c adds the diagnostic-pragma helper and its dispatch. src/il_def.h adds the gcc_pk_diagnostic enum member. src/pending_changes/gh-182-gcc-diagnostic-pragmas.txt documents the new behavior. The new regression tests and their .rto fixtures exercise the new handler. The many expected-output edits remove the unrecognized-GCC-pragma diagnostics that the new handler now accepts. Checked case: tests/tests/imported/gnu/c/.pragma-diag-5.rto/default.1.1.txt. The remaining unrecognized-pragma warnings for lines 4 and 7 now show caret positions at the token after diagnostic. The line 9 warning for ignored "-Wfoo" is removed because that form is now accepted. The caret change follows from the helper consuming tokens before the warning is issued. It does not fall outside the scope of #182. Reviewer note: the caret for the line 4 warning now points past the end of the pragma text, which may be a less useful location. This is a side effect inside scope, not an out-of-scope change. Limits: the .pr69543 expected-output change, which replaces the pragma warnings with a yyvsp warning at a different line, was judged from the summary and not from the fixture file.

ignored_attributes must not be accepted in Clang mode.

The handler accepts #pragma GCC diagnostic ignored_attributes when gnu_version >= 120000, regardless of whether Clang mode is active. However, the regression test expects this pragma to be unrecognized in Clang mode. A user can invoke --clang --gnu_version=120000, which causes the pragma to be accepted, violating the documented contract.

The gnu_version >= 120000 gate for ignored_attributes must check !clang_mode to reject this pragma in Clang mode, consistent with the pattern used for the fatal kind and the regression contract.
