configure.ac.warnings   [plain text]

dnl Use lots of warning flags with with gcc and compatible compilers

dnl Note: if you change the following variable, the cache is automatically
dnl skipped and all flags rechecked.  So there's no need to do anything
dnl else.  If for any reason you need to force a recheck, just change
dnl MAYBE_WARN in an ignorable way (like adding whitespace)

# -Wcast-align generates lots of false positive reports we need to
# cast image data from uint8_t to uin32_t.

MAYBE_WARN="-Wall -Wextra \
-Wold-style-definition -Wdeclaration-after-statement \
-Wmissing-declarations -Werror-implicit-function-declaration \
-Wnested-externs -Wpointer-arith -Wwrite-strings \
-Wsign-compare -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes \
-Wpacked -Wswitch-enum -Wmissing-format-attribute \
-Wbad-function-cast -Wvolatile-register-var \
-Wstrict-aliasing=2 -Winit-self -Wunsafe-loop-optimizations \
-Wno-missing-field-initializers -Wno-unused-parameter \
-Wno-attributes -Wno-long-long -Winline -Wlogical-op"

dnl Sun Studio 12 likes to rag at us for abusing enums like
dnl having cairo_status_t variables hold cairo_int_status_t
dnl values.  It's bad, we know.  Now please be quiet.
MAYBE_WARN="$MAYBE_WARN -erroff=E_ENUM_TYPE_MISMATCH_ARG \
			-erroff=E_ENUM_TYPE_MISMATCH_OP"

dnl We also abuse the warning-flag facility to enable other compiler
dnl options.  Namely, the following:
MAYBE_WARN="$MAYBE_WARN -fno-strict-aliasing -fno-common -flto"

dnl Also to turn various gcc/glibc-specific preprocessor checks
MAYBE_WARN="$MAYBE_WARN -Wp,-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2"
