[Xenomai-core] [PATCH][SOLO] add more warnings

[Robert Schwebel]

Contrary to what one would assume, -Wall doesn't warn on everything. It
turned out to add a few more options, like -Wsign-compare, -Wfloat-equal
and -Wformat-security, which is what the patch below does.

When running with these options, we get the following warnings:

I've looked into the first ones only yet and it looks to me like the
type definitions have to be reviewed carefully. For example, TASK_ID is
defined to be unsigned long, whereas the vxworks documentation [1] looks
more like if we need 'int' there. Which also makes me wonder if vxworks
has a special idea about what 'int' is; guessing from [2] it looks like
it assumes sint32_t, so in order to fix this on 64 bit boxes, shouldn't
these cases be converted to use the inttypes.h definitions?

However, somebody with more vxworks knowledge than myself should have a
look at this.

VxWorks assumes 32bit and sizeof(void *) == sizeof(int), unfortunately. See
taskSpawn() for instance.

Did you mean stdint.h? What we need is an integer type which is able to carry a
pointer on 32/64bit platforms, so we should rather use intptr_t I guess, as per
C99, which expands as a long type. Object ids as unsigned long is a left over
from the co-kernel version, where we use actual integer handles returned from
kernel space, and not pointers in disguise. Will fix, thanks.

Yes, which probably means that using 'int' and friends is not a good
idea.

Probably better, yes.

Hmm, if vxworks assumes "int" to be 32 bit, couldn't it lead to problems
if the pointer size itself isn't 32 bit as well?

Please try again.

The cron job to push stuff to the public server runs not that often.

VxWorks only documents that one may assume TASK_ID == pointer to TCB, which
implies sizeof(int) == sizeof(struct WIND_TCB *) as per the taskInit
documentation and the original taskSpawn prototype. But using a different scalar
type than int to underlay TASK_ID, which would guarantee sizeof(TASK_ID) ==
sizeof(struct WIND_TCB *) is logically ok (and actually always worked so far in
actual ports of legacy apps over the VxWorks skin).

Said differently, any application assuming that a task identifier must be 32bit
wide would only work in a 32bit environment anyway, as implied by the initial
VxWorks assumption that sizeof(TASK_ID) == sizeof(struct WIND_TCB *). Given that
sizeof(intptr_t) is 32bit in such environment, we would be fine in this case as
well.
