Subject: [PATCH 7/9] perf build: Check the version of the compiler that is used
Date: Tue, 15 Sep 2026 23:12:16 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260916061218.3061216-8-irogers@google.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260916061218.3061216-1-irogers@google.com>
The flex and bison flags are adjusted for clang older than 13.0.0, which
doesn't grok -Wno-unused-but-set-variable. The test is reached because
CC_NO_CLANG says CC is clang, but the version comes from $(CLANG), which
defaults to plain "clang" and needn't be the compiler in use:
$ make CC=clang-19 CLANG=clang-12
version from $(CLANG) -> 12.0.0, flag stripped
version from $(CC) -> 19.1.7, flag kept
Dropping the flag lets the warnings it suppresses in the generated flex
and bison code through, and those are errors under -Werror.
Ask $(CC) instead, as that is what compiles the code.
Fixes: 878460e8d0ff ("perf build: Remove -Wno-unused-but-set-variable from the flex flags when building with clang < 13.0.0")
