clang has a too aggressive (or broken, depends on how you want to see
it) -Wunused-function warning, which is triggered by the functions
defined by DEF_VEC_* but not used in the current source file. Normally,
it won't warn about unused static inline functions defined in header
files, because it's expected that a source file won't use all functions
defined in a header file it includes. However, if the DEF_VEC_* macro
is used in a source file, it considers those functions as defined in the
source file, which leads it to think that we should remove those
functions. It is therefore missing a check to see whether those
functions are resulting from macro expansion. A bug already exists for
that:
https://bugs.llvm.org//show_bug.cgi?id=22712
It's quite easy to silence this warning in a localized way, that is in
the DEF_VEC_* macros.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* common/diagnostics.h: Define macros for GCC.
(DIAGNOSTIC_IGNORE_UNUSED_FUNCTION): New macro.
* common/vec.h: Include diagnostics.h.
(DIAGNOSTIC_IGNORE_UNUSED_VEC_FUNCTION): New macro.
(DEF_VEC_I, DEF_VEC_P, DEF_VEC_O): Ignore -Wunused-function
warning.
Some older versions of flex (such as the one shipped with macOS) generate
code that use the register keyword, which clang warns about. This patch
makes the compiler ignore those warnings for the portion of the code
generated by flex.
gdb/ChangeLog:
* common/diagnostics.h (DIAGNOSTIC_IGNORE_DEPRECATED_REGISTER):
New macro.
* ada-lex.l: Ignore deprecated register warnings.
clang gives this warning:
..../gdb/unittests/environ-selftests.c:139:7: error: explicitly moving variable of type 'gdb_environ' to itself [-Werror,-Wself-move]
env = std::move (env);
~~~ ^ ~~~
Ignoring the warning locally is the right thing to do, since it warns
about behavior we want to unit test, while an explicit self-move in
real code would likely be a mistake that we'd want to catch.
To avoid cluttering the code with preprocessor conditionals, this
commit adds the file common/diagnostics.h, in which we can put macros
used to control compiler diagnostics.
