             Bug #: 51437
           Summary: GCC should warn on the use of reserved
                    identifier/macro names
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: gcc
           Version: unknown
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P3
         Component: c
        AssignedTo: unassig...@gcc.gnu.org
        ReportedBy: vanboxem.ru...@gmail.com


For C and C++, Clang should warn when user code uses identifiers or macros that
are implementation-reserved.

For C(99), this would mean names starting with an underscore followed by
another unerscore or capitalized letter.

For C++ a single underscore is also reserved for the global namespace.

I could have messed the above rules up, but these are the cause of a lot of
unexpected bugs, and a warning would be super-easy to implement.
