From 2699f446739bf3092c41099f9d1de692f0c21799 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Wladimir J. van der Laan" Date: Wed, 15 Jul 2020 13:51:02 +0200 Subject: [PATCH] Merge #18882: build: fix -Wformat-security check when compiling with GCC 6cef3652d143a1dddad1254cab0953561d24c1fa build: fix -Wformat-security check when compiling with GCC (fanquake) Pull request description: GCC expects `-Wformat` to be passed with [`-Wformat-security`](https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Warning-Options.html), which means when we test for it in configure it currently fails: ```bash checking whether C++ compiler accepts -Wformat-security... no ... configure:15907: checking whether C++ compiler accepts -Wformat-security configure:15926: g++ -std=c++11 -c -g -O2 -Werror -Wformat-security conftest.cpp >&5 cc1plus: error: '-Wformat-security' ignored without '-Wformat' [-Werror=format-security] cc1plus: all warnings being treated as errors ``` and never gets added to our CXX flags. Note that Clang does not have this requirement and the check is working correctly there. The change in this PR is the simple fix, however we might want to consider using something like `-Wformat=2` in future, which in GCC is equivalent to `-Wformat -Wformat-nonliteral -Wformat-security -Wformat-y2k.` and similar [in Clang](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/DiagnosticsReference.html#wformat-2).
