Subject: [PATCH v5 13/15] Compiler Attributes: enable -Wstringop-truncation on W=1 (gcc >= 8)
Date: Thu, 20 Sep 2018 19:22:59 +0200 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20180920172301.21868-14-miguel.ojeda.sandonis@gmail.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20180920172301.21868-1-miguel.ojeda.sandonis@gmail.com>
Commit 217c3e019675 ("disable stringop truncation warnings for now")
disabled -Wstringop-truncation since it was too noisy.
Having __nonstring available allows us to let GCC know that a string
is not meant to be NUL-terminated, which helps suppressing some
-Wstringop-truncation warnings.
Note that using __nonstring actually triggers other warnings
(-Wstringop-overflow, which is on by default) which may be real
problems. Therefore, cleaning up -Wstringop-truncation warnings
also buys us the ability to uncover further potential problems.
To encourage the use of __nonstring, we put the warning back at W=1.
In the future, if we end up with a fairly warning-free tree,
we might want to enable it by default.
