init: Kconfig: Disable -Wstringop-overflow for GCC-11

[PATCH][next] init: Kconfig: Disable -Wstringop-overflow for GCC-11

Posted by Gustavo A. R. Silva 2 years ago

-Wstringop-overflow is buggy in GCC-11. Therefore, we should disable
this option specifically for that compiler version. To achieve this,
we introduce a new configuration option: GCC11_NO_STRINGOP_OVERFLOW.

The compiler option related to string operation overflow is now managed
under configuration CC_STRINGOP_OVERFLOW. This option is enabled by
default for all other versions of GCC that support it.

Can you add some links for this? For example, maybe this?
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=97490

Or discussions from -next builds?

But yeah, let's get this landed to keep new warnings from appearing...

I just applied this to my -next tree.
