Attempting to build GDB in Ubuntu 16.04.6 LTS on x86_64, I ran into warnings
that caused the build to fail:
binutils-gdb/gdb/gdbsupport/safe-strerror.c:44:1: error: ‘char* select_strerror_r(char*, char*)’ defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function] select_strerror_r (char *res, char *)
The diagnostic macro DIAGNOSTIC_IGNORE_UNUSED_FUNCTION seems to expand
correctly to its respective pragma, but this doesn't seem to have an effect on
the warning. I tried to use the pragma explicitly and got the same result.
ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED works fine in this case if you put it in both functions,
which should fix warnings for both gdb and gdbserver builds.
The compiler version is gcc (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.11) 5.4.0 20160609.
This is likely the result of PR64079 in GCC, which was fixed by commit
9e96f1e1b9731c4e1ef4fbbbf0997319973f0537.
To prevent other developers from attempting to use this macro, only to get
confused by it not working as expected, it seems better to not define this
particular macro.
gdb/ChangeLog:
2019-12-12 Luis Machado <luis.machado@linaro.org>
* gdbsupport/safe-strerror.c: Don't include diagnostics.h.
(select_strerror_r): Use ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED instead of the diagnostics
macros.
include/ChangeLog:
2019-12-12 Luis Machado <luis.machado@linaro.org>
* diagnostics.h (DIAGNOSTIC_IGNORE_UNUSED_FUNCTION). Remove
definitions.
Change-Id: Iad6123d61d76d111e3ef8d24aa8c60112304c749
commit 3322c5d9a1 ("Remove unneeded explicit .o targets") broke the
build with clang, because -Wno-format-nonliteral was in fact needed.
This patch fixes the problem by introducing
DIAGNOSTIC_IGNORE_FORMAT_NONLITERAL and using it in printcmd.c. This
seems preferable to reverting the patch because now the warning
suppression is more targeted.
gdb/ChangeLog
2018-09-05 Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@ericsson.com>
* printcmd.c (printf_c_string): Use
DIAGNOSTIC_IGNORE_FORMAT_NONLITERAL.
(printf_wide_c_string, printf_pointer, ui_printf): Likewise.
include/ChangeLog
2018-09-05 Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@ericsson.com>
* diagnostics.h (DIAGNOSTIC_IGNORE_FORMAT_NONLITERAL): New macro.
Fixes a number of build errors like the following
.../elf32-arm.c: In function 'elf32_arm_nabi_write_core_note':
.../elf32-arm.c:2177: error: #pragma GCC diagnostic not allowed inside functions
.../elf32-arm.c:2186: error: #pragma GCC diagnostic not allowed inside functions
See the comment in diagnostics.h.
include/
* diagnostics.h: Comment on macro usage.
bfd/
* elf32-arm.c (elf32_arm_nabi_write_core_note): Don't use
DIAGNOTIC_PUSH and DIAGNOSTIC_POP unconditionally.
* elf32-ppc.c (ppc_elf_write_core_note): Likewise.
* elf32-s390.c (elf_s390_write_core_note): Likewise.
* elf64-ppc.c (ppc64_elf_write_core_note): Likewise.
* elf64-s390.c (elf_s390_write_core_note): Likewise.
* elfxx-aarch64.c (_bfd_aarch64_elf_write_core_note): Likewise.
This patch silences this warning:
/Users/simark/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/darwin-nat.c:839:10: error: 'syscall' is deprecated: first deprecated in macOS 10.12 - syscall(2) is unsupported; please switch to a supported interface. For SYS_kdebug_trace use kdebug_signpost(). [-Werror,-Wdeprecated-declarations]
res = syscall (SYS___pthread_kill, thread->gdb_port, nsignal);
^
/usr/include/unistd.h:745:6: note: 'syscall' has been explicitly marked deprecated here
int syscall(int, ...);
^
The comment of the new pthread_kill function explains why we use the
syscall function directly.
include/ChangeLog:
* diagnostics.h (DIAGNOSTIC_IGNORE_DEPRECATED_DECLARATIONS):
Define for clang.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* darwin-nat.c (darwin_pthread_kill): New function.
(darwin_resume_thread): Use darwin_pthread_kill.
Move gdb/common/diagnostics.h to include/diagnostics.h so that it can
be used in binutils.
gdb/
* ada-lex.l: Include "diagnostics.h" instead of
"common/diagnostics.h".
* unittests/environ-selftests.c: Likewise.
* common/diagnostics.h: Moved to ../include.
include/
* diagnostics.h: Moved from ../gdb/common/diagnostics.h.
