GCC still not implementing the standard pragmas reminds me of the old GCC pragma easter egg. This is in cccp.c from gcc 0.9:
/*
* the behavior of the #pragma directive is implementation defined.
* this implementation defines it as follows.
*/
do_pragma ()
{
close (0);
if (open ("/dev/tty", O_RDONLY) != 0)
goto nope;
close (1);
if (open ("/dev/tty", O_WRONLY) != 1)
goto nope;
execl ("/usr/games/hack", "#pragma", 0);
execl ("/usr/games/rogue", "#pragma", 0);
execl ("/usr/new/emacs", "-f", "hanoi", "9", "-kill", 0);
execl ("/usr/local/emacs", "-f", "hanoi", "9", "-kill", 0);
nope:
fatal ("You are in a maze of twisty compiler features, all different");
}
It's gone by gcc 1.21: #if 0
/* This was a fun hack, but #pragma seems to start to be useful.
By failing to recognize it, we pass it through unchanged to cc1. */
