Description

Description of the problem or steps to reproduce

After adding "#pragma once" in empty .hpp file Micro throws warning "#pragma once in main file".
It occurs even if "int main()" is not declared, which is misleading.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the warning in an empty .hpp file containing only #pragma once, using the reported Micro version and Debian environment. Trace the code that identifies a file as the main file and emits the warning; done means the warning no longer appears for an empty header without int main().
