From fbe315bdc89732225d2d5b898468569fd2a1fa25 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andrea Bolognani Date: Tue, 5 Sep 2017 16:37:50 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] m4: Disable -Wdisabled-optimization After b4f7793ce269, qemuxml2xmltest has apparently become big enough to trigger a compilation error when using --enable-test-coverage on aarch64: CC qemuxml2xmltest.o qemuxml2xmltest.c: In function 'mymain': qemuxml2xmltest.c:1216:1: error: const/copy propagation disabled: 4361 basic blocks and 99285 registers [-Werror=disabled-optimization] } ^ qemuxml2xmltest.c:1216:1: error: PRE disabled: 4361 basic blocks and 99285 registers [-Werror=disabled-optimization] qemuxml2xmltest.c:1216:1: error: const/copy propagation disabled: 4361 basic blocks and 99285 registers [-Werror=disabled-optimization] qemuxml2xmltest.c:1216:1: error: const/copy propagation disabled: 4361 basic blocks and 99285 registers [-Werror=disabled-optimization] However, as the GCC documentation states, this warning is not really caused by issues in our code, so it makes sense to disable it.
