From 3e019bdc20eb81b91ab5bc774386201b874c0bac Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Simon Marchi Date: Sat, 17 Jun 2017 23:18:20 +0200 Subject: gdb: Use -Werror when checking for (un)supported warning flags In warning.m4, we pass all the warning flags one by one to the compiler to test if they are supported by this particular compiler. If the compiler exits with an error, we conclude that this warning flag is not supported and exclude it. This allows us to use warning flags without having to worry about which versions of which compilers support each flag. clang, by default, only emits a warning if an unknown flag is passed: warning: unknown warning option '-Wfoo' [-Wunknown-warning-option] The result is that we think that all the warning flags we use are supported by clang (they are not), and the compilation fails later when building with -Werror, since the aforementioned warning becomes an error. The fix is to also pass -Werror when probing for supported flags, then we'll correctly get an error when using an unknown warning, and we'll exclude it: error: unknown warning option '-Wfoo' [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option] I am not sure why there is a change in a random comment in gdbserver/configure, but I suppose it's a leftfover from a previous patch, so I included it. gdb/ChangeLog: * configure: Re-generate. * warning.m4: Pass -Werror to compiler when checking for supported warning flags. gdb/gdbserver/ChangeLog: * configure: Re-generate. --- gdb/configure | 4 ++-- 1 file changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) (limited to 'gdb/configure') diff --git a/gdb/configure b/gdb/configure index 1f15d5d3..df2747a 100755 --- a/gdb/configure +++ b/gdb/configure @@ -15222,9 +15222,9 @@ $as_echo_n "checking compiler warning flags...
