Subject: [PATCH bpf-next v1 2/7] selftests/bpf: don't pass clang-only warning flags to GCC
Date: Tue, 27 Oct 2026 17:04:06 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261028000411.4010967-3-vineet.gupta@linux.dev> (raw)

The clang only togges are passed to every BPF object build, including
for BPF_GCC build.

GCC accepts an unknown -Wno-foo silently until some other diagnostic fires,
and then appends a note to it, so every warning in a bpf_gcc build comes with
two lines of noise:

  cc1: note: unrecognized command-line option '-Wno-initializer-overrides' may have been intended to silence earlier diagnostics
  cc1: note: unrecognized command-line option '-Wno-microsoft-anon-tag' may have been intended to silence earlier diagnostics

Collect them in CLANG_BPF_CFLAGS and hand them only to the clang
flavors, through the per-flavor BPF_CC_FLAGS that Makefile.skel appends
after BPF_CFLAGS.

Only these two are clang-only; -Wno-compare-distinct-pointer-types and
-fms-extensions are understood by GCC 14 and later and stay in
BPF_CFLAGS.
