+<a name="index-system-header-files-1"></a>
+
+<p>The header files declaring interfaces to the operating system and
+runtime libraries often cannot be written in strictly conforming C.
+Therefore, GCC gives code found in <em>system headers</em> special
+treatment. All warnings, other than those generated by &lsquo;<samp>#warning</samp>&rsquo;
+(see <a href="Diagnostics.html#Diagnostics">Diagnostics</a>), are suppressed while GCC is processing a system
+header. Macros defined in a system header are immune to a few warnings
+wherever they are expanded. This immunity is granted on an ad-hoc
+basis, when we find that a warning generates lots of false positives
+because of code in macros defined in system headers.
+</p>
+<p>Normally, only the headers found in specific directories are considered
+system headers. These directories are determined when GCC is compiled.
+There are, however, two ways to make normal headers into system headers:
+</p>
+<ul>
+<li> Header files found in directories added to the search path with the
+<samp>-isystem</samp> and <samp>-idirafter</samp> command-line options are
+treated as system headers for the purposes of diagnostics.
+
+</li><li> <a name="index-_0023pragma-GCC-system_005fheader"></a>
+There is also a directive, <code>#pragma&nbsp;GCC&nbsp;<span class="nolinebreak">system_header</span><!-- /@w --></code>, which
+tells GCC to consider the rest of the current include file a system
+header, no matter where it was found. Code that comes before the
+&lsquo;<samp>#pragma</samp>&rsquo; in the file is not affected. <code>#pragma&nbsp;GCC&nbsp;<span class="nolinebreak">system_header</span><!-- /@w --></code> has no effect in the primary source file.
+</li></ul>
+
+<p>On some targets, such as RS/6000 AIX, GCC implicitly surrounds all
+system headers with an &lsquo;<samp>extern &quot;C&quot;</samp>&rsquo; block when compiling as C++.
