[PATCH 02/22] objtool: Warn when disabling unreachable warnings
Posted by Josh Poimboeuf 8 months, 3 weeks ago
Print a warning when disabling the unreachable warnings (due to a GCC
bug).  This will help determine if recent GCCs still have the issue and
alert us if any other issues might be silently lurking behind the
unreachable disablement.
