Hi, during some GNU internal discussion I was asked to post my proposal / request here.
"I use manywarnings.m4 in my projects which take ~9s here (~25% of the whole ./configure run). One gcc invocation per (possible) warning options sums up a lot. gcc -Q --help=warning|awk '{ if ($2 == "[disabled]") print $1 }' gives a complete list of available warning options which we can use without checking each single option. This also takes automatic advantage of new gcc warnings." I took a look at the source but feel somewhat incompetent to provide a patch (m4 and shell is just not my competence). It seems to be a pretty low-hanging fruit for an expert, though. I really would enjoy a faster manywarnings.m4 ! Regards, Tim
