The "-Wimplicit-fallthrough=2" option was introduced into gcc 7.0, it was enabled when the cross compiler gcc is greater than 7.0, but for the host side buildtools/pmdinfogen, if the native is older than 7.0, it should not be enabled.
The fix is to differentiate the host gcc Werror options from the cross gcc. gcc -Wp,-MD,./.pmdinfogen.o.d.tmp -W -Wall -Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wmissing-declarations -Wold-style-definition -Wpointer-arith -Wcast-align -Wnested-externs -Wcast-qual -Wformat-nonliteral -Wformat-security -Wundef -Wwrite-strings -Wdeprecated -Werror -Wimplicit-fallthrough=2 -Dbbb -Wno-format-truncation -g -I/home/gavin/arm_repo/dpdk/build/include -o pmdinfogen.o -c ~/dpdk/buildtools/pmdinfogen/pmdinfogen.c gcc: error: unrecognized command line option ‘-Wimplicit-fallthrough=2’ ~/dpdk/mk/internal/rte.compile-pre.mk:114: recipe for target 'pmdinfogen.o' failed make[3]: *** [pmdinfogen.o] Error 1 Fixes: ced3e6f8 ("mk: adjust gcc flags for new gcc 7 warnings") Cc: sta...@dpdk.org Signed-off-by: Gavin Hu <gavin...@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Honnappa Nagarahalli <honnappa.nagaraha...@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Steve Capper <steve.cap...@arm.com> Reviewed-by: Thomas Monjalon <tho...@monjalon.net> --- buildtools/pmdinfogen/Makefile | 2 +- mk/toolchain/gcc/rte.toolchain-compat.mk | 5 +++++ mk/toolchain/gcc/rte.vars.mk | 9 +++++++++ 3 files changed, 15 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/buildtools/pmdinfogen/Makefile b/buildtools/pmdinfogen/Makefile index bf07b6f..ff7a5fa 100644 --- a/buildtools/pmdinfogen/Makefile +++ b/buildtools/pmdinfogen/Makefile @@ -41,7 +41,7 @@ HOSTAPP = dpdk-pmdinfogen # SRCS-y += pmdinfogen.c -HOST_CFLAGS += $(WERROR_FLAGS) -g +HOST_CFLAGS += $(HOST_WERROR_FLAGS) -g HOST_CFLAGS += -I$(RTE_OUTPUT)/include include $(RTE_SDK)/mk/rte.hostapp.mk diff --git a/mk/toolchain/gcc/rte.toolchain-compat.mk b/mk/toolchain/gcc/rte.toolchain-compat.mk index 255c896..1e4434f 100644 --- a/mk/toolchain/gcc/rte.toolchain-compat.mk +++ b/mk/toolchain/gcc/rte.toolchain-compat.mk @@ -15,6 +15,11 @@ GCC_MINOR = $(shell echo __GNUC_MINOR__ | $(CC) -E -x c - | tail -n 1) GCC_PATCHLEVEL = $(shell echo __GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__ | $(CC) -E -x c - | tail -n 1) GCC_VERSION = $(GCC_MAJOR)$(GCC_MINOR) +HOST_GCC_MAJOR = $(shell echo __GNUC__ | $(HOSTCC) -E -x c - | tail -n 1) +HOST_GCC_MINOR = $(shell echo __GNUC_MINOR__ | $(HOSTCC) -E -x c - | tail -n 1) +HOST_GCC_PATCHLEVEL = $(shell echo __GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__ | $(HOSTCC) -E -x c - | tail -n 1) +HOST_GCC_VERSION = $(HOST_GCC_MAJOR)$(HOST_GCC_MINOR) + # if GCC is older than 4.x ifeq ($(shell test $(GCC_VERSION) -lt 40 && echo 1), 1) MACHINE_CFLAGS = diff --git a/mk/toolchain/gcc/rte.vars.mk b/mk/toolchain/gcc/rte.vars.mk index 7e4531b..d8b99fa 100644 --- a/mk/toolchain/gcc/rte.vars.mk +++ b/mk/toolchain/gcc/rte.vars.mk @@ -71,6 +71,15 @@ ifeq ($(shell test $(GCC_VERSION) -lt 47 && echo 1), 1) WERROR_FLAGS += -Wno-uninitialized endif +HOST_WERROR_FLAGS := $(WERROR_FLAGS) + +ifeq ($(shell test $(HOST_GCC_VERSION) -gt 70 && echo 1), 1) +# Tell GCC only to error for switch fallthroughs without a suitable comment +HOST_WERROR_FLAGS += -Wimplicit-fallthrough=2 +# Ignore errors for snprintf truncation +HOST_WERROR_FLAGS += -Wno-format-truncation +endif + ifeq ($(shell test $(GCC_VERSION) -gt 70 && echo 1), 1) # Tell GCC only to error for switch fallthroughs without a suitable comment WERROR_FLAGS += -Wimplicit-fallthrough=2 -- 2.1.4
