Hi all,
A small open webrev to fix some issues around
--disable-warnings-as-errors (this is not a full cleanup):
http://cr.openjdk.java.net/~bdelsart/8081616/webrev.00/webrev/
Without the fix, -Werror is used to compiled native JDK libraries even
when the --disable-warnings-as-errors is used.
A lot of these libs are addressed by clearing
CFLAGS_WARNINGS_ARE_ERRORS in flags.m4
Lib-jdk.sctp.gmk is a special case because it uses directly -Werror.
Instead of modifying SCTP to use CFLAGS_WARNINGS_ARE_ERRORS, I use the
mechanism put in place in that file to disable -Werror and control it
through the WARNINGS_AS_ERRORS configured value.
I think this patch will require some work to be OK.
First of all, I'm not quite sure I understand what problem you are
trying to solve. What libraries are compiled with -Werror when
--disable-warnings-as-errors is used? This should not be the case, and I
cannot reproduce it on my system.
CFLAGS_WARNINGS_ARE_ERRORS should never be cleared, since that is only
exported as the mechanism to use for enabling warnings as errors. If no
compilation includes it (which it should not if warnings-as-errors are
disabled), it won't affect the build. If CFLAGS_WARNINGS_ARE_ERRORS are
used even though warnings-as-errors are disabled, then it is this usage
that should be fixed.
I can see that libsctp is a special case that hard-codes -Werror. But in
this case we should remove the hard-coding and relying on the system
setting. This is probably a remnant from before the overall -Werror
usage, where the authors of a specific lib wanted to enforce a higher
standard. Also, it might be worth revisiting if
-Wno-error=unused-parameter is really needed. These things tend to bit-rot.
