Most checks for libraries take the same format
* --with-libFOO=yes|no|check|/some/path argument
* check for a function NNN in libFOO.so
* check for a header file DDD/HHH.h
* Define a WITH_FOO config.h symbol
* Define a WITH_FOO make conditional
* Substitute FOO_CFLAGS and FOO_LIBS make variables
* Print CFLAGS & LIBS summary at the end
Doing all this correctly is rather difficult, typically
done by copy+paste of a previous usage. Further small
improvements people make are not applied to all previous
usages.
Improve this by creating some helper macros to apply
good practice. First, to perform the actual checks:
LIBVIRT_CHECK_LIB([SELINUX], [selinux],
[getfilecon], [selinux/selinux.h])
This checks for 'getfilecon' in -lselinux, and the
existence of 'selinux/selinux.h' header file. If successful
it sets SELINUX_CFLAGS and SELINUX_LIBS. The WITH_SELINUX
config.h macro and WITH_SELINUX make conditional are also
defined.
In some cases we need to check two variants of the same
library
LIBVIRT_CHECK_LIB_ALT([SASL], [sasl2],
[sasl_client_init], [sasl/sasl.h],
[SASL1], [sasl],
[sasl_client_init], [sasl/sasl.h])
This checks for sasl_client_init in libsasl2, and if that
is not found, checks sasl_client_init in libsasl. If the
first check succeeds WITH_SASL is set, while if the second
check succeeds *both* WITH_SASL and WITH_SASL1 are set.
If the library supports pkg-config, then another variant
is available
LIBVIRT_CHECK_PKG([AVAHI], [avahi-client], [0.6.0])
This checks for avahi-client >= 0.6.0 via pkg-config
and sets WITH_AVAHI if found.
Finally to print a summary of CFLAGS & LIBs found (if any):
LIBVIRT_RESULT_LIB([SELINUX])

Commit 8b8fcdea introduced a check for broken gcc -Wlogical-op,
but did not guard the check against non-gcc compilers, which might
lead to spurious failures when another compiler encounters an
unknown pragma. Additionally, all of our compiler warning logic
should belong in a single file, and use cache variables to allow
overriding the decision at configure time if necessary.
* configure.ac (BROKEN_GCC_WLOGICALOP): Move...
* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4 (LIBVIRT_COMPILE_WARNINGS): ...here,
and update to modern autoconf idioms.
Commit c579d6b added a sledgehammer to silence spurious warnings from
gcc 4.2, but in the process, it also silenced useful warnings from
gcc 4.3 through 4.5. As a result, a bug slipped in to commit 0caccb58.
Tested with FreeBSD (gcc 4.2.1), RHEL 6.3 (gcc 4.4), and F17 (gcc 4.7.2),
where the former didn't trip on spurious warnings, and where the latter
two detected a revert of 2b804cf.
* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4 (-Wno-format): Probe for the actual
spurious message, to once again allow gcc 4.4 to use -Wformat.
On RHEL 6.2, gcc 4.4.6 complains:
cc1: warning: command line option "-Wenum-compare" is valid for C++/ObjC++ but not for C
which in turn breaks a -Werror build.
Meanwhile, in Fedora 17, gcc 4.7.0, -Wenum-compare has been enhanced
to also work on C, but at the same time, it is documented that -Wall
now implicitly includes -Wenum-compare.
Therefore, it is sufficient to remove explicit checks for this option,
avoiding the warning from older gcc while still getting the
compile-time safety from newer gcc.
* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4 (-Wenum-compare): Omit explicit check.
OpenBSD ships with gcc 4.2.1, which annoyingly treats all format
strings as though they were also attribute((nonnull)). The two
concepts are orthogonal, though, as evidenced by the number of
spurious warnings it generates on uses where we know that
virReportError specifically handles NULL instead of a format
string; worse, since we now force -Werror on git builds, it
prevents development builds on OpenBSD.
I hate to do this, as it disables ALL format checking on older
gcc, and therefore misses out on some useful checks (code that
happened to compile on Linux may still have type mismatches
when compiled on other platforms, as evidenced by the number
of times I have fixed formatting mismatches for uid_t as found
by warnings on Cygwin), but I don't see any other way to keep
-Werror alive and still compile on OpenBSD.
A more invasive change would be to make virReportError() mark
its format attribute as nonnull, and fix (a lot of) fallout;
we may end up doing that anyways as part of danpb's error
refactoring improvements, but not today.
* src/internal.h (ATTRIBUTE_FMT_PRINTF): Use preferred spellings.
* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4 (-Wformat): Disable on older gcc.
A previous patch (c606671a) pulled in a newer version of
stat-time.h from gnulib, which causes some warnings in older gcc:
CC libvirt_driver_storage_la-storage_backend.lo
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
In file included from ../../src/storage/storage_backend.c:59:
../../gnulib/lib/stat-time.h:55: error: no previous prototype for 'get_stat_atime_ns' [-Wmissing-prototypes]
Upstream gnulib argues that these warnings are stupid (and I agree;
see <http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=54113>), and has
used a modern gcc feature (#pragma GCC diagnostic push) to avoid the
warning. But we still aim to compile on RHEL 6.3, with gcc 4.4.6
(not to mention even older platforms like RHEL 5), and therefore
the warning trips up our default of development with -Werror.
It took me a while to figure out how to make our set of warnings
smaller on older gcc without losing the benefit of the warnings
when using newer gcc (such as the one on Fedora 17), but this
should do the trick.
* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4 (LIBVIRT_COMPILE_WARNINGS): Avoid
warnings that gnulib can't silence on older gcc.
The access, birth, modification and change times are added to
storage volumes and corresponding xml representations. This
shows up in the XML in this format:
<timestamps>
<atime>1341933637.027319099</atime>
<mtime>1341933637.027319099</mtime>
</timestamps>

While libvirt intentionally avoids -Wundef (after all, C99
guarantees sane semantics of treating undefined macros as 0),
the glibc insanity of #warning on _FORTIFY_SOURCE coupled with
what some people feel is the black magic of autoconf means
that other projects are likely to copy our snippet verbatim.
We can be nicer to other projects by making it easier to
integrate into projects that use -Wundef.
Suggested by Christophe Fergeau.
* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4 (LIBVIRT_COMPILE_WARNINGS): Be nice
to other projects using -Wundef.
glibc 2.15 (on Fedora 17) coupled with explicit disabling of
optimization during development dies a painful death:
In file included from /usr/include/limits.h:27:0,
from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.7.0/include/limits.h:169,
from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.7.0/include/syslimits.h:7,
from /usr/lib/gcc/x86_64-redhat-linux/4.7.0/include/limits.h:34,
from util/bitmap.c:26:
/usr/include/features.h:314:4: error: #warning _FORTIFY_SOURCE requires compiling with optimization (-O) [-Werror=cpp]
cc1: all warnings being treated as errors
Work around this by only conditionally defining _FORTIFY_SOURCE,
in the case where glibc can actually use it. The trick is using
AH_VERBATIM instead of AC_DEFINE.
* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4 (LIBVIRT_COMPILE_WARNINGS): Squelch
_FORTIFY_SOURCE when needed to avoid glibc #warnings.
Given that we auto-detect whether each -Wxxxx flag is supported by
GCC, and we are warning-free and use automake silent rules, there
is no compelling reason to allow compile warnings to be disabled.
Replace the --enable-compile-warnings flag with a simpler
--enable-werror flag, which defaults to 'yes' if building
from GIT, or 'no' if building from tar.gz
This helps ensure that everyone writing patches for libvirt will
take care to fix their warning problems before submitting for
review
* autobuild.sh: Force -Werror
* configure.ac: Update for LIBVIRT_COMPILE_WARNINGS macro change
* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4: Permanently enable all warnings,
auto-enable Werror for GIT builds
Gnulib claims that there are some classes of warnings that are
worth enabling during development, but where silencing those
warnings causes code bloat that is not necessary in an optimized
build. The code bloat to silence the warnings is only enabled
by -Dlint. Follow the lead of coreutils in setting up -Dlint
whenever full warnings are requested.
* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4 (LIBVIRT_COMPILE_WARNINGS): Add
-Dlint, and move _FORTIFY_SOURCE to config.h instead of CFLAGS.
Older gcc warns (on every file!) that -Wabi and -Wdeprecated only
make sense on C++ projects. Newer gcc accepts these warnings for
C, but it is not clear that they can do anything useful, so it
is easier to just drop the warnings altogether.
* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4 (LIBVIRT_COMPILE_WARNINGS): Silence
-Wabi and -Wdeprecated on older gcc.
Reported by Peter Krempa.
I had previously tested commit 059d746 with -O intentionally omitted
from my CFLAGS; but that means that I missed out on this warning
from gcc 4.6.2 when optimizations are enabled:
util/buf.c: In function 'virBufferGetIndent':
util/buf.c:86:1: error: function might be candidate for attribute 'pure' [-Werror=suggest-attribute=pure]
While it is probably a good idea to add the attributes and silence
this warning, it's also invasive; 'make -k' found more than 75 such
complaints. And it doesn't help that gcc 4.6.2 is still buggy
(coreutils reported a case where gcc 4.6.2 incorrectly suggested
marking a function pure that incremented a global variable; fixed
in gcc 4.7). So the best fix for now is to disable the warning.
It also doesn't help that I stumbled across another problem - gcc
documents that -Wsuggest-attribute=pure only warns if you use -O,
or if you use -fipa-pure-const. But in practice, when I omitted -O
but added -fipa-pure-const, the warnings are fickle - I got warnings
for simple compilation that disappeared when I also added -fPIC.
And the way libtool compiles things is with -fPIC first, then without
-fPIC but with errors sent to /dev/null - which meant that without
disabling -Wsuggest-attribute=pure, I got a compile error with no
message. :( See http://debbugs.gnu.org/cgi/bugreport.cgi?bug=10197
* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4 (LIBVIRT_COMPILE_WARNINGS): Silence
-Wsuggest-attribute warnings for now.
* .gnulib: Update to latest, for improved 'make syntax-check' and
compiler warnings.
* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4 (LIBVIRT_COMPILE_WARNINGS):
Re-silence -Wformat-nonliteral.
* cfg.mk (_test_script_regex): Recognize our test scripts.
* gnulib/local/lib/*.diff: Drop, now that gnulib has this.
* tests/virsh-optparse: Fix use of compare.
* tests/virsh-schedinfo: Likewise.
Make virtTestLoadFile allocate the buffer to read the file into.
Fix logic error in virtTestLoadFile, stop reading on the first empty line.
Use virFileReadLimFD in virtTestCaptureProgramOutput to avoid manual
buffer handling.
Make it so we don't have to 'git add -f' particular files like
po/POTFILES.in all the time (tested by fixing one of our
special-case files as part of the patch).
* .gnulib: Update to latest.
* bootstrap: Resync from coreutils.
* .gitignore: Sort whitelist entries correctly, including ignoring
files rather than directories.
* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4: Convert tabs to space.
With gcc 4.3.4 I'm seeing the following warning failure
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
cc1: error: -funit-at-a-time is required for inlining of functions
that are only called once [-Wdisabled-optimization]
Add -funit-at-a-time to WARN_CFLAGS.
The GCC Win32 compiler will claim to support -fstack-protector,
but if it actually gets triggered by a suitable code pattern,
linking will fail. Other non-Linux OS likely suffer the same
way with gcc.
* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4: Only use stack protector when
the build target is Linux.
A couple of functions were declared using the old style foo()
for no-parameters, instead of foo(void)
* src/xen/xen_hypervisor.c, tests/testutils.c: Replace () with (void)

* acinclude.m4: Delete
* m4/virt-compile-warnings.m4: Checks for GCC compiler flags
* m4/virt-pkgconfig-back-compat.m4: Backcompat check for
pkgconfig program
Remove custom code for checking compiler warnings, using
gl_WARN_ADD instead. Don't list all flags ourselves, use
gnulib's gl_MANYWARN_ALL_GCC to get all possible GCC flags,
then turn off the ones we don't want yet.
* acinclude.m4: Rewrite to use gl_WARN_ADD and gl_MANYWARN_ALL_GCC
* bootstrap.conf: Add warnings & manywarnings
* configure.ac: Switch to gl_WARN_ADD
* m4/compiler-flags.m4: Obsoleted by gl_WARN_ADD
Allows bootstrap to work on FreeBSD, where gzip doesn't have a '.'

generated .gitignore files.
* build-aux/.gitignore, m4/.gitignore, po/.gitignore: Remove from
version control, since bootstrap generates them.
'./autobuild.sh' with lcov installed discovered that our
coverage support has been bit-rotting for a while. This
restores it back to a successful state, although I have
not yet spent any time looking through the resulting files to
look for low-hanging fruit in the unit test coverage front.
* configure.ac: Clear COMPILER_FLAGS at right place.
* Makefile.am (cov): Newer genhtml no longer likes plain -s.
* m4/compiler-flags.m4 (gl_COMPILER_FLAGS): Don't AC_SUBST
COMPILER_FLAGS; it is a shell variable for use in configure only.
* src/Makefile.am (AM_CFLAGS, AM_LDFLAGS): New variables, to make
it easier to provide global flag additions. Use throughout, to
uniformly apply coverage flags.
* .gitignore: Globally ignore gcov output.
* daemon/.gitignore: Simplify.
* src/.gitignore: Likewise.
* tests/.gitignore: Likewise.
* .cvsignore: Don't ignore *.orig or *.rej. They're not build products.
Don't ignore the entire m4 directory.
* Makefile.maint (sync-vcs-ignore-files): Correct quoting.
Use sed rather than a for loop.
Search only version-controled files (for reproducibility)
* gnulib/lib/netinet/.cvsignore: Append missing newline-at-EOF,
so that the use of sed doesn't mistakenly concatenate lines.
* gnulib/lib/sys/.cvsignore: Likewise.
* m4/.cvsignore: Ignore acinclude.m4 and aclocal.m4, not *.m4.
* .hgignore: Regenerate.
* all .gitignore files: Regenerate.
New files go into these directories:
gnulib/lib
gnulib/m4
gnulib/tests
* bootstrap: A wrapper around gnulib-tool.
* configure.in: Invoke gl_EARLY and gl_INIT, being careful to put gl_EARLY
before any macro that uses AC_COMPILE_IFELSE.
(AC_OUTPUT): Add lib/Makefile and gl-tests/Makefile. Remove m4/Makefile.
* Makefile.am (SUBDIRS): Add gnulib/lib and remove m4. Add gnulib/tests
early enough that those tests run before any libvirt unit tests.
* m4/Makefile.am: Remove file. Not needed.
* src/Makefile.am (INCLUDES): Add -I$(top_srcdir)/gnulib/lib -I../gnulib/lib.
(LDADDS, libvirt_la_LIBADD): Add ../gnulib/lib/libgnu.la.

(LDADDS): Add ../gnulib/lib/libgnu.la.
* qemud/Makefile.am (libvirtd_LDADD): Add ../gnulib/lib/libgnu.la.

* tests/nodeinfodata/linux-nodeinfo-6.txt:
* src/test.c [WITH_TEST]: Remove definition of _GNU_SOURCE that
would conflict with the one now in "config.h".
* autogen.sh: Add -I gnulib/m4.
* src/conf.c, src/sexpr.c: Don't define _GNU_SOURCE.
Instead, include "config.h".
* qemud/qemud.c: Remove definition of _GNU_SOURCE.
* src/openvz_driver.c: Likewise.
* src/qemu_driver.c: Likewise.
* src/remote_internal.c: Likewise.

of gettextize-generated files go into build-aux/, rather than in
the top-level directory.
* .cvsignore: Adjust.
* build-aux/.cvsignore: New file.
