Subject: More on warning cleanup
Since compilers differ in what warnings they include in -Wall, I'd
like to remove -Wall (followed by a bunch of -Wno-*) from musl's
--enable-warnings and instead individually turn on the warnings we
want. A few weeks ago I worked those out on #musl (based on the GCC
manual's documentation of -Wall and other options) and here's what I
came up with:
-Waddress
-Warray-bounds
-Wchar-subscripts
-Wreturn-type
-Wsequence-point
-Wstrict-aliasing
-Wstrict-overflow
-Wunused-function
-Wunused-variable
-Wunused-label
This list does not include the ones we already have as errors because
they only trigger on invalid C:
-Werror=implicit-function-declaration
-Werror=implicit-int
-Werror=pointer-sign
-Werror=pointer-arith
Are these any other warnings we should enable? I specifically don't
want any from the following list which we're explicitly turning off
after using -Wall right now:
-Wparentheses
-Wuninitialized
-Wmissing-braces
-Wunused-value
-Wunused-but-set-variable
-Wunknown-pragmas
-Wpointer-to-int-cast
Note that the list of warnings to disable after -Wall is almost as
long as my list of desirable warnings to enable.
One other issue to consider is how to get rid of enabled-by-default
warnings we don't want. On GCC they're impossible to turn off
individually, but unobtrusive; only -w can turn them off, but -w is
permanent and overrides all later -W options. On cparser, a lot of
crap is turned on by default, but -w turns it off and is then
overridable by subsequent -W options. Not sure about clang.
