[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] configure: add -Wno-format-truncation to QEMU_CFLAGS
Posted by Eduardo Otubo 6 years, 9 months ago
Compilation breaks on GCC 7.1.1 20170622 (Fedora 26), thus adding
-Wno-format-truncation to QEMU_CFLAGS on configure script is neecssary.

This warning looks pretty much bogus to me. Since building with -Werror is
essential, we should add this flag to configure. If someone thinks this warning
is not a false positive, feel free to drop this patch.

This particular case of the warning may be a false positive, but the
-Wformat-truncation warning *can* detect serious real bugs so turning
it off is not appropriate. In any case there's a patch this problem
queued for merge already:

Interesting how the `quick search' feature on Thunderbird didn't catch 
this one. Well, thanks anyway for the reply. Let's drop this one, then.
