2026-02-24MdePkg: Replace include guards with #pragma onceMichael Kubacki1-4/+1
Replace traditional `#ifndef`/`#define`/`#endif` include guards with `#pragma` once. `#pragma once` is a widely supported preprocessor directive that prevents header files from being included multiple times. It is supported by all toolchains used to build edk2: GCC, Clang/LLVM, and MSVC. Compared to macro-based include guards, `#pragma once`: - Eliminates the risk of macro name collisions or copy/paste errors where two headers inadvertently use the same guard macro. - Eliminate inconsistency in the way include guard macros are named (e.g., some files use `__FILE_H__`, others use `FILE_H_`, etc.). - Reduces boilerplate (three lines replaced by one). - Avoids polluting the macro namespace with guard symbols. - Can improve build times as the preprocessor can skip re-opening the file entirely, rather than re-reading it to find the matching `#endif` ("multiple-include optimization"). - Note that some compilers may already optimize traditional include guards, by recognzining the idiomatic pattern. This change is made acknowledging that overall portability of the code will technically be reduced, as `#pragma once` is not part of the C/C++ standards. However, this is considered acceptable given: 1. edk2 already defines a subset of supported compilers in BaseTools/Conf/tools_def.template, all of which have supported `#pragma once` for over two decades. 2. There have been concerns raised to the project about inconsistent include guard naming and potential macro collisions. Approximate compiler support dates: - MSVC: Supported since Visual C++ 4.2 (1996) - GCC: Supported since 3.4 (2004) (http://gnu.ist.utl.pt/software/gcc/gcc-3.4/changes.html) - Clang (LLVM based): Since initial release in 2007 Signed-off-by: Michael Kubacki <michael.kubacki@microsoft.com>

https://bugzilla.tianocore.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798 SafeIntLib provides helper functions to prevent integer overflow during type conversion, addition, subtraction, and multiplication. Conversion Functions ==================== * Converting from a signed type to an unsigned type of the same size, or vice-versa. * Converting to a smaller type that could possibly overflow. * Converting from a signed type to a larger unsigned type. Unsigned Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication =============================================== * Unsigned integer math functions protect from overflow and underflow (in case of subtraction). Signed Addition, Subtraction, Multiplication ============================================ * Strongly consider using unsigned numbers. * Signed numbers are often used where unsigned numbers should be used. For example file sizes and array indices should always be unsigned. Subtracting a larger positive signed number from a smaller positive signed number with SafeInt32Sub() will succeed, producing a negative number, that then must not be used as an array index (but can occasionally be used as a pointer index.) Similarly for adding a larger magnitude negative number to a smaller magnitude positive number. * SafeIntLib does not protect you from such errors. It tells you if your integer operations overflowed, not if you are doing the right thing with your non-overflowed integers. * Likewise you can overflow a buffer with a non-overflowed unsigned index.
