`-include a.h` probes `a.h.pch` and `a.h.gch`, if not found, falls back to `a.h`. `.pch` is the preferred extension name. Probing .gch is supposed to provide compatibility with build systems that do ``` clang -x c-header a.h -o out/a.h.gch clang -include out/a.h -c a.c # out/a.h.gch is present while out/a.h is absent ``` (not sure what projects actually do this with Clang) But it can often get in the way [^0][^1][^2] when GCC and Clang are mixed as the file format is incompatible with GCC's. Let's deprecate .gch probing. Some tests using `-include` are switched to `.pch`. `test/PCH/pch-dir.c` shows the -Wdeprecated warning.
