C: hints for missing stdlib includes for macros and types
The C frontend already "knows" about many common functions in
the C standard library:
test.c: In function 'test':
test.c:3:3: warning: implicit declaration of function 'printf' [-Wimplicit-function-declaration]
printf ("hello world\n");
^~~~~~
test.c:3:3: warning: incompatible implicit declaration of built-in function 'printf'
test.c:3:3: note: include '<stdio.h>' or provide a declaration of 'printf'
and which header file they are in.
However it doesn't know about various types and macros:
test.c:1:13: error: 'NULL' undeclared here (not in a function)
void *ptr = NULL;
^~~~
This patch uses the name_hint/deferred_diagnostic machinery to
add hints for missing C standard library headers for some of the
most common type and macro names.
For example, the above becomes:
test.c:1:13: error: 'NULL' undeclared here (not in a function)
void *ptr = NULL;
^~~~
test.c:1:13: note: 'NULL' is defined in header '<stddef.h>'; did you forget to '#include <stddef.h>'?
gcc/c/ChangeLog:
* c-decl.c (get_c_name_hint): New function.
(class suggest_missing_header): New class.
(lookup_name_fuzzy): Call get_c_name_hint and use it to
suggest missing headers to the user.
gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:
* gcc.dg/spellcheck-stdlib.c: New test case.
