Bug ID: 106486
Summary: C++ warning for -Wmissing-prototypes is pure nuisance
Product: gcc
Version: 12.1.1
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: hpa at zytor dot com
Target Milestone: ---
Since upgrading to gcc 12.1.1, I keep getting the following warning through
various projects:
cc1plus: warning: command-line option ‘-Wmissing-prototypes’ is valid for
C/ObjC but not for C++
This warning is pure nuisance. In a mixed-language project it is *extra*
important that the right prototypes are used, and it is far easier to enable
-Wmissing-prototypes project wide. This warning implies that one would have to
conditionalize the -W options based on the language of an input file, which is
often painful to do without structural Makefile changes.
Note that there doesn't seem to be any way to squelch this warning, either
(e.g. a -Wno-warning-not-applicable option or similar.)
