I am surprised by the question: "It's non-standard and it's behavior is undefined" actually should be enough to avoid such feature.

Actually if a reliable implementation of "#pragma once" would be possible, that feature would have been included in the C++ standard for a long time already, wouldn't it?

Hi,


We are using `#pragma once` in a number of examples and tests in the Qt source 
tree, but I don’t think we have officially endorsed it in favour of explicit 
include guards.

#pragma once is “non-standard but widely supported” [1], with some caveats, 
e.g. when there are multiple header files with the same name (which each 
compiler then handles differently, as there is no standard).

 From what I see, it should in practice be ok to use. But perhaps I’m missing 
something. Does anything speak against using ‘#pragma once’ in new files?
