Hi All,
I'm trying to get jdk8u to be built with VS2017.
This requires disabling several warnings for several libraries (as been
done in later versions of the openjdk, like [1]) however jdk8u doesn't
have the DISABLED_WARNINGS_$(TOOLCHAIN_TYPE) [2] argument support in
SetupNativeCompilation target [3]. I have investigated the possibility
of back-porting JDK-8074096, which first introduced DISABLED_WARNINGS
into jdk9 but that seemed not very feasible.
I've already progressed with adding -Wd flags to CFLAGS_windows
overrides in corresponding places but not sure if this would be the
right approach to do this.
I will be grateful if someone could advise me on what approach I should
proceed?
Best regards,
Ali
