From 08eb5f1b67e2af009549717eb5c66b7d7905731f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: fanquake Date: Mon, 17 Jul 2023 14:09:44 +0100 Subject: [PATCH] ci: document that -Wreturn-type has been fixed upstream (Windows) `noreturn` attributes have been added to the mingw-w64 headers, meaning that from 11.0.0 onwards, you'll no-longer see `-Wreturn-type` warnings when using assert(false): https://github.com/mingw-w64/mingw-w64/commit/1690994f515910a31b9fb7c7bd3a52d4ba987abe. Add -Wno-return-type to the Windows CI, where is should have been all along, and document why it's required. This can be dropped when we are using the fixed version of the mingw-w64 headers there. Drop the -Werror -Wno-return-type special case from our build system. -Wreturn-type is on by default in Clang and GCC. --- ci/test/00_setup_env_win64.sh | 5 ++++- configure.ac | 6 ------ 2 files changed, 4 insertions(+), 7 deletions(-) diff --git a/ci/test/00_setup_env_win64.sh b/ci/test/00_setup_env_win64.sh index d8c36ccf85..e42828ac1f 100755 --- a/ci/test/00_setup_env_win64.sh +++ b/ci/test/00_setup_env_win64.sh @@ -13,4 +13,7 @@ export DPKG_ADD_ARCH="i386" export PACKAGES="nsis g++-mingw-w64-x86-64-posix wine-binfmt wine64 wine32 file" export RUN_FUNCTIONAL_TESTS=false export GOAL="deploy" -export BITCOIN_CONFIG="--enable-reduce-exports --enable-external-signer --disable-gui-tests" +# Prior to 11.0.0, the mingw-w64 headers were missing noreturn attributes, causing warnings when +# cross-compiling for Windows. https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/bugs/306/ +# https://github.com/mingw-w64/mingw-w64/commit/1690994f515910a31b9fb7c7bd3a52d4ba987abe +export BITCOIN_CONFIG="--enable-reduce-exports --enable-external-signer --disable-gui-tests CXXFLAGS=-Wno-return-type" diff --git a/configure.ac b/configure.ac index 9e3a7cca8a..d6f822845a 100644 --- a/configure.ac +++ b/configure.ac @@ -427,12 +427,6 @@ if test "$enable_werror" = "yes"; then AC_MSG_ERROR([enable-werror set but -Werror is not usable]) fi ERROR_CXXFLAGS=$CXXFLAG_WERROR - - dnl -Wreturn-type is broken in GCC for MinGW-w64. - dnl https://sourceforge.net/p/mingw-w64/bugs/306/ - AX_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAG([-Werror=return-type], [], [ERROR_CXXFLAGS="$ERROR_CXXFLAGS -Wno-error=return-type"], [$CXXFLAG_WERROR], - [AC_LANG_SOURCE([[#include - int f(){ assert(false); }]])]) fi if test "$CXXFLAGS_overridden" = "no"; then
