[previous] 1045 [next] [E] Use of the #include_next preprocessing directive is a language extension.
Language extensions

The #include_next preprocessing directive is a language extension. It can be used to provide a stub for a Standard Library or a 3rd party header file. This allows parsing of the header file to be altered without having to modify the original file. However, this usage is not portable.

For example: 


/*PRQA S 1-9999 ++*/
/*PRQA S 1045 --*/

//
// stddef.h
// a stub that overrides wchar_t definition in stddef.h

typedef unsigned char wchar_t;
#define _WCHAR_T

// include the original header
#include_next <stddef.h>
