Create custom #warning flags

I'm building a commercial app, and we are using some GPL code to help us along.

How can I add #warning or #error statements so that when the code is built for debug, it warns, but when we build for release it throws errors?

I can do:

#warning this code is released under a CCL licensing scheme, see Source_Code_License.rtf
#warning this code is not LGPL-compliant
#warning this code was copied verbatim from a GP Licensed file

at the beginning of files, but can I do better? Is there a better way of tagging a file if it's included?

I'm using Objective-C++ with gcc or clang.

Solution

  • Use #pragma message instead.
