Hi,
I have watched this thread for years expecting a switch to be introduced to
allow the former GCC behavior of tolerating missing header files and I can no
longer remain on the side lines. I echo the sentiment of others that the
ability to permit missing headers is something we rely on to auto-generate said
header files using cproto, and we've been doing this as far back as GCC 3.x.
Of course missing headers should be an error during compilation, but
pre-compile it is natural to auto-generate a variety of header files, at least
in our situation. I find myself having to downgrade to GCC 4.4.7 in order to
work around this issue, but I would prefer to continue to use future editions
of GCC. Please see if a safety valve can be put in to allow the former
behavior, it seems like this issue keeps getting bumped to future revisions but
at some point we are going to be between a rock and a hard place with decisions
about OS and GCC upgrades. Thank you for your anticipated consideration.
