Require use of GCC 4.4 or CLang compilers
with 4.4 picked due to RHEL-6. Since we dropped RHEL-6, the
next oldest distro is RHEL-7 (4.8.5), and thus we pick 4.8
as the new min.

As a general rule any time we switch() on something that is an enum, we
want to have a case for every enum constant. The -Wswitch warning will
report any switch where we've violated this rule, except if that switch
has a default case.
Unfortunately it is reasonable to want to list all enum constants *and*
also have a default case. To get a warning in that scenario requires
that we turn on -Wswitch-enum.
In a few cases where we explicitly don't want to list all enum cases, we
can discard the enum type checking by casting the value to a plain int.

The -Wextra flag bundle gained a new warning -Wcast-function-type.
This complains if you cast between two function prototypes where
the number of parameters or their data types are not compatible.
Unfortunately we need such "bad" function casts for our event
callbacks. It is possible to silence the warning by first casting
to the generic "void (*)(void)" function prototype, but that is
rather ugly to add throughout libvirt code.

GCC 7.1 introduces a new -Wformat-truncation warning

Time to update to new gnulib before a release.
gcc 5.1 introduced a new -Wformat-signedness, and new gnulib now
turns it on by default. However, it is still rather lame at the
moment, because it warns for enums, even though there is no way
to control the signeness of an enum which does not use any members
that are negative or larger than INT_MAX, and even though such an
enum would always print the same for both %d and %u:

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.

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

that other projects are likely to copy our snippet verbatim.
We can be nicer to other projects by making it easier to

Given that we auto-detect whether each -Wxxxx flag is supported by

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

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
