Hi,
I made a stupid typo and accidentally included
an unprotected file from itself. The error
message generated by gcc surprised me and I
wondered if there was a better alternative.
Seems like a perfectly fine message to me, what
do you suggest in its place (remember that recursive
includes are allowed, they are not illegal).
$ cat recursive_include.c
#include "recursive_include.c"
$ gcc -c recursive_include.c
................
from recursive_include.c:1:
recursive_include.c:1:31: error: #include nested too deeply
$ gcc -c recursive_include.c 2>&1 | wc -l
200
Thanks.
