-Wmax-tokens

Diagnostic text:

warning: the number of preprocessor source tokens (A) exceeds this token limit (B)

warning: the total number of preprocessor source tokens (A) exceeds the token limit (B)

The warning is issued if the number of pre-processor tokens exceeds the token limit, which can be set in three ways:

  1. As a limit at a specific point in a file, using the clang max_tokens_here pragma:

    #pragma clang max_tokens_here 1234
    
  2. As a per-translation unit limit, using the -fmax-tokens= command-line flag:

    clang -c a.cpp -fmax-tokens=1234
    
  3. As a per-translation unit limit using the clang max_tokens_total pragma, which works like and overrides the -fmax-tokens= flag:

    #pragma clang max_tokens_total 1234
    

These limits can be helpful in limiting code growth through included files.

Setting a token limit of zero means no limit.

Note that the warning is disabled by default, so -Wmax-tokens must be used in addition with the pragmas or -fmax-tokens flag to get any warnings.
