Like Bruno, I've not had much luck with -Wpedantic for doing that. The
GCC manual even has qualms about it.
ever since commit:
https://git.sv.gnu.org/gitweb/?p=gnulib.git;a=commitdiff;h=4f6131a786
if the user specifies --Wpedantic, then it's ignored
(and that's not at all obvious as there are early warnings before the pragma).
I tried to work around that problem by installing the attached patch.
Please give it a try. Even if -Wpedantic has problems, it's better if
Gnulib doesn't override the builder unnecessarily.
Yes that works well, and is less surprising.
$ make CFLAGS='-O2 -Wpedantic -Wno-error' 2>&1 | grep 'src/.*warning:' |
grep -Ev '_Noreturn|_Static_assert'
src/tail.c:2211:11: warning: a label can only be part of a statement \
and a declaration is not a statement [-Wpedantic]
thanks!
