Subject: configure: new option --enable-gcc-warnings
Date: Mon, 09 Apr 2012 00:58:00 -0700

Package: emacs
Version: 24.1
Tags: patch

Here's a patch to add a 'configure' option --enable-gcc-warnings that
enables GCC static checking options that I've found useful for
checking Emacs.  It uses code borrowed from GNU coreutils, which has
this option in its 'configure' script.  I've been using this for many
months to find bugs in Emacs, and it's mature enough to publish now.
I'd like to install it into the trunk at an appropriate time.

+	configure: new option --enable-gcc-warnings
+	I have been using this change for many months in my private copy
+	of Emacs, and have used it to find several bugs.  It's mature
+	enough to publish now.
+	* Makefile.in (GNULIB_MODULES): Add warnings, manywarnings.
+	* configure.in: Support --enable-gcc-warnings, in the style of
+	other GNU packages such as coreutils.
+	(C_WARNINGS_SWITCH): Remove, replacing with...
+	(WARN_CFLAGS, GNULIB_WARN_CFLAGS): New variable.
+	(PKG_CHECK_MODULES, C_SWITCH_X_SITE): Use -isystem rather than -I,
+	when including system files with GCC.
+	* etc/NEWS: Mention --enable-gcc-warnings.
+	* lib/Makefile.am (AM_CFLAGS): New macro.
+	* m4/manywarnings.m4, m4/warnings.m4: New files, from gnulib.
+
 2012-04-09  Glenn Morris  <rgm <at> gnu.org>
 
 	* Makefile.in (leim): Check cd return value.  Pass fewer variables.

 * Installation Changes in Emacs 24.2
+
+** New configure option '--enable-gcc-warnings', intended for developers.
+If building with GCC, this enables compile-time checks that warn about
+possibly-questionable C code.  On a recent GNU system there should be
+no warnings; on older and on non-GNU systems the generated warnings
+may or may not be useful.  By default, these warnings are not generated.

You didn't regenerate m4/gl-comp.m4, which caused bug 11285.

Thanks for fixing that.  Odd; the code worked for me
without that change.  Maybe because I used a newer
version of autoconf?

Anyway I installed this further patch as a minor further cleanup,
as bzr 107986:

You didn't test it properly.  A proper test would be to build the
previous revision, install the change and build again.

$ git checkout 42881f5^; make; git checkout 42881f5; make

OK, that explains it.  I ran autogen.sh and 'configure' after
applying the patch, rather than just "make".  In general,
"make" doesn't always work after arbitrary changes to makefiles, or
changes to files that cause changes to makefiles.  The current
Emacs build procedure has heuristics that try to guess when
to work around this problem, but the heuristics didn't work
in this case.

I don't use git to maintain Emacs, but I reproduced the problem
this way:

bzr branch -r107960 trunk trunk-tmp
cd trunk-tmp
./autogen.sh
./configure
make
(cd ../trunk && bzr diff -r107960..107961) | patch -p0
make

For me on RHEL6, using gcc 4.4.6 20110731 (Red Hat 4.4.6-3), the
"-Wunused-result" line causes a gripe when building lib-src/regex.o:
