preprocessor warn of duplicate include guard macros?

What if:
./lib1/foo.hpp:
#ifndef FOO_HPP
#define FOO_HPP
...
#endif
./lib2/foo.hpp:
#ifndef FOO_HPP
#define FOO_HPP
...
#endif
,/main.cpp
#include "lib1/foo.hpp"
#include "lib2/foo.hpp"
Is there any cpp option which can warn that
./lib1/foo.hpp and ./lib2/foo.hpp have
the same include guards?
Based on:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cppinternals/Guard-Macros.html#Guard-Macros
I would guess it would be simple to detect this since, according to
that cppinternals link:
_cpp_pop_file_buffer remembers the controlling macro
associated with the file. Subsequent calls to
stack_include_file result in no buffer being pushed if the
controlling macro is defined, effecting the optimization.
I recently had a need for this because boost/spirit has this
problem and correcting it has been tedious :(
