Jason,
somme of our customers have 'interesting' C++ coding rules, they'd like to
have the compiler enforced. They want to disable:
1) namespace definitions
2) template declarations
3) multiple inheritance
4) virtual inheritance
But they want to use the STL. This patch implements 4 new flags, intended
to be use in the -fno-FOO form. They're only active outside of system
header files.
If these are quite specific coding rules, wouldn't this be something ideal for
a plugin rather than implemented in the compiler proper?
One can implement warnings with plugins (in python if desired!)
http://gcc-python-plugin.readthedocs.org/en/latest/basics.html#generating-custom-errors-and-warnings
Compiler plugins that implement specific coding rules are quite common, alas,
using clang not GCC: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Clang_plugins
It would be more generally useful to extend GCC to fully support this type of
plugins.
Cheers,
Manuel.
