This would have detected the bug in commit 38ad33931 (Aug 09), which
we missed until commit f828ca35 (Jul 10); over 11 months later.
However, on Fedora 13, it also triggers LOTS of warnings from
the libcurl-devel header for two files:
esx/esx_vi.c: In function 'esxVI_CURL_Perform':
esx/esx_vi.c:232: error: logical '&&' with non-zero constant will always evaluate as true [-Wlogical-op]
esx/esx_vi.c:232: error: logical '&&' with non-zero constant will always evaluate as true [-Wlogical-op]
esx/esx_vi.c:232: error: logical '&&' with non-zero constant will always evaluate as true [-Wlogical-op]
...
xenapi/xenapi_driver.c: In function 'call_func':
xenapi/xenapi_driver.c:1872: error: logical '&&' with non-zero constant will always evaluate as true [-Wlogical-op]
xenapi/xenapi_driver.c:1872: error: logical '&&' with non-zero constant will always evaluate as true [-Wlogical-op]
xenapi/xenapi_driver.c:1872: error: logical '&&' with non-zero constant will always evaluate as true [-Wlogical-op]
...
libcurl allows to disable the type-checking code that triggers those
warnings, along with the reduction in type-safety of calls to some
libcurl functions. I figure this is worth the improved compiler
checking throughout the rest of libvirt.
* acinclude.m4 (--enable-compile-warnings=error): Add -Wlogical-op.
* configure.ac: Add -DCURL_DISABLE_TYPECHECK to LIBCURL_CFLAGS to
avoid compilation warning.
Suggested by Daniel P. Berrange.
Tweaked by Matthias Bolte.
Matthias noted that the line:
virt_aa_helper_LDFLAGS = $(WARN_CFLAGS)
looks inconsistent, so I did an audit.
Currently, the set of compiler warning flags passed to gcc as $CC are
equally permitted as the set of linker flags passed to gcc as $LD, so
there was no problem with that usage. But if we ever get in a
situation where $CC and $LD treat particular flags differently, using
the right variable form will make it easier.
In the process, I spotted a couple of typos that were omitting useful
flags, as well as specifying a -l under the wrong variable.
* acinclude.m4 (LIBVIRT_COMPILE_WARNINGS): Define WARN_LDFLAGS as
an alias for WARN_CFLAGS.
* tools/Makefile.am (virsh_LDFLAGS): Use more canonical spelling.
* proxy/Makefile.am (libvirt_proxy_LDFLAGS): Likewise. Move
library...
(libvirt_proxy_LDADD): ...here.
* src/Makefile.am (virt_aa_helper_LDFLAGS): Use more canonical
spelling of WARN_LDFLAGS.
(libvirt_parthelper_LDFLAGS, libvirt_lxc_LDFLAGS): Likewise. Use
correct spelling of COVERAGE_LDFLAGS.

by running this command:
git ls-files -z | xargs -0 perl -pi -0777 -e 's/\n\n+$/\n/'
This is in preparation for a more strict make syntax-check
rule that will detect trailing blank lines.
Avoid risk of format string abuse (also avoids gcc warnings).
* src/util.c (ReportError): Use a literal "%s" format string.
* src/remote_internal.c (server_error): Likewise.
* src/qemu_conf.c (qemudReportError): Likewise.
* acinclude.m4: Add -Wformat -Wformat-security to default
list of warning flags, to warn about errors such as the
above.
* acinclude.m4, configure.in: ./configure option
--disable-stack-protector.
* src/gnutls_1_0_compat.h: Compatibility with GnuTLS 1.0.
* src/bridge.c: If no bridge ioctls, give an error at runtime.
* acinclude.m4: add LIBVIRT_COMPILE_WARNINGS, copied from
GNOME but with a few more flags we'd been using.
* configure.in: use that instead of setting CFLAGS
directly.
* proxy/Makefile.am, python/Makefile.am, qemud/Makefile.am,
src/Makefile.am, tests/Makefile.am: use $(WARN_CFLAGS)
