[gdb/testsuite] Compile compile-ifunc.c with -Wno-attribute-alias
Consider the following test-case: ... $ cat 1.c typedef int (*final_t) (int arg); int final (int arg) { return arg + 1; } final_t gnu_ifunc (void) { return final; } int gnu_ifunc_alias (int) __attribute__ ((ifunc ("gnu_ifunc"))); int main (void) { return gnu_ifunc_alias (10); } ... with result: ... $ gcc 1.c $ ./a.out; echo $? 11 ... The test-case uses the ifunc attribute, but there's another solution using %gnu_indirect_function. Consider 2.c and 3.c: ... $ cat 2.c typedef int (*final_t) (int arg); int final (int arg) { return arg + 1; } asm (".type gnu_ifunc, %gnu_indirect_function"); final_t gnu_ifunc (void) { return final; } $ cat 3.c extern int gnu_ifunc (int); int main (void) { return gnu_ifunc (10); } ... However, it can be inconvenient to have seperate files for the incompatible decls of gnu_ifunc, so we can use this in a single file like this: ... $ cat 4.c typedef int (*final_t) (int arg); int final (int arg) { return arg + 1; } asm (".type gnu_ifunc, %gnu_indirect_function"); final_t gnu_ifunc (void) { return final; } extern int gnu_ifunc_alias (int arg) __attribute__ ((alias ("gnu_ifunc"))); int main (void) { return gnu_ifunc_alias (10); } ... This alias trick works ok at -O0, but not at -O2: ... $ gcc 4.c $ ./a.out; echo $? 11 $ gcc 4.c $ ./a.out; echo $? 176 ... and produces a warning with gcc-8 and later: ... $ gcc-8 4.c 4.c:7:12: warning: 'gnu_ifunc_alias' alias between functions of incompatible \ types 'int(int)' and 'int (*(void))(int)' [-Wattribute-alias] extern int gnu_ifunc_alias (int arg) __attribute__ ((alias ("gnu_ifunc"))); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 4.c:5:9: note: aliased declaration here final_t gnu_ifunc (void) ^~~~~~~~~ ... The warning is correct, but the mismatch is intentional. The last variant (%gnu_indirect_function + alias) is used in gdb.compile/compile-ifunc.c, so we run into the warning with recent gcc. Fix the warning by compiling with -Wno-attribute-alias. Tested the test-case on x86_64-linux with gcc-10, and observed I no longer see the warning: ... Running src/gdb/testsuite/gdb.compile/compile-ifunc.exp ... === gdb Summary === nr of untested testcases 1 ... gdb/testsuite/ChangeLog: 2020-05-06 Tom de Vries <tdevries@suse.de> * gdb.compile/compile-ifunc.exp: Use -Wno-attribute-alias.
