2018-09-24Merge branch 'jk/dev-build-format-security'Libravatar Junio C Hamano1-0/+1
Build tweak to help developers. * jk/dev-build-format-security: config.mak.dev: add -Wformat-security
2018-09-11config.mak.dev: add -Wformat-securityLibravatar Jeff King1-0/+1
We currently build cleanly with -Wformat-security, and it's a good idea to make sure we continue to do so (since calls that trigger the warning may be security vulnerabilities). Note that we cannot use the stronger -Wformat-nonliteral, as there are case where we are clever with passing around pointers to string literals. E.g., bisect_rev_setup() takes bad_format and good_format parameters. These ultimately come from literals, but they still trigger the warning. Some of these might be fixable (e.g., by passing flags from which we locally select a format), and might even be worth fixing (not because of security, but just because it's an easy mistake to pass the wrong format). But there are other cases which are likely quite hard to fix (we actually generate formats in a local buffer in some cases). So let's punt on that for now and start with -Wformat-security, which is supposed to catch the most important cases.

2018-07-25Makefile: add a DEVOPTS flag to get pedantic compilationLibravatar Beat Bolli1-0/+5
In the interest of code hygiene, make it easier to compile Git with the flag -pedantic. Pure pedantic compilation with GCC 7.3 results in one warning per use of the translation macro `N_`: warning: array initialized from parenthesized string constant [-Wpedantic] Therefore also disable the parenthesising of i18n strings with -DUSE_PARENS_AROUND_GETTEXT_N=0.

2018-04-16Makefile: add a DEVOPTS to get all of -WextraLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+2
Change DEVOPTS to understand a "extra-all" option. When the DEVELOPER flag is enabled we turn on -Wextra, but manually switch some of the warnings it turns on off. This is because we have many existing occurrences of them in the code base. This mode will stop the suppression, let the developer see and decide whether to fix them. This change is a slight alteration of Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy EAGER_DEVELOPER mode patch[1] 1.

2018-04-16Makefile: add a DEVOPTS to suppress -Werror under DEVELOPERLibravatar Ævar Arnfjörð Bjarmason1-0/+2
Add a DEVOPTS variable that'll be used to tweak the behavior of DEVELOPER. I've long wanted to use DEVELOPER=1 in my production builds, but on some old systems I still get warnings, and thus the build would fail. However if the build/tests fail for some other reason, it would still be useful to scroll up and see what the relevant code is warning about. This change allows for that. Now setting DEVELOPER will set -Werror as before, but if DEVOPTS=no-error is provided is set you'll get the same warnings, but without -Werror.

2018-04-16Makefile: detect compiler and enable more warnings in DEVELOPER=1Libravatar Nguyễn Thái Ngọc Duy1-0/+38
The set of extra warnings we enable when DEVELOPER has to be conservative because we can't assume any compiler version the developer may use. Detect the compiler version so we know when it's safe to enable -Wextra and maybe more. These warning settings are mostly from my custom config.mak a long time ago when I tried to enable as many warnings as possible that can still build without showing warnings. Some of those warnings are probably worth fixing instead of just suppressing in future.
