1 OpenAFS Warning detection
2 -------------------------
4 There's been a concerted effort over the last few years, by many developers,
5 to reduce the number of warnings in the OpenAFS tree. In an attempt to
6 prevent warnings from creeping back in, we now have the ability to break the
7 build when new warnings appear.
9 This is only available for systems with gcc 4.2 or later, and is disabled
10 unless the --enable-checking option is supplied to configure. Because we
11 can't remove all of the warnings, we permit file by file (and warning by
12 warning) disabling of specific warnings. The --enable-checking=all prevents
13 this, and errors for any file containing a warning.
18 If warnings are unavoidable in a particular part of the build, they may be
19 disabled in an number of ways.
21 You can disable a single warning type in a particular file by using GCC
22 pragmas. If a warning can be disabled with a pragma, then the switch to use
23 will be listed in the error message you receive from the compiler. Pragmas
24 should be wrapped in IGNORE_SOME_GCC_WARNINGS, so that they aren't used
25 with non-gcc compilers, and can be disabled if desired. For example:
26 #ifdef IGNORE_SOME_GCC_WARNINGS
27 # pragma GCC diagnostic warning "-Wold-style-definition"
30 If a pragma isn't available for your particular warning, you will need to
31 disable all warnings for the file in question. You can do this by supplying
32 the autoconf macro @CFLAGS_NOERROR@ in the build options for the file. For
34 lex.yy.o : lex.yy.c y.tab.c
35 ${CC} -c ${CFLAGS} @CFLAGS_NOERROR@ lex.yy.c
