If anyone has any objections, please let me know. ------------------ From: Jiri Olsa commit b7a313d84e853049062011d78cb04b6decd12f5c upstream. The gcc 8 compiler won't compile the python extension code with the following errors (one example): python.c:830:15: error: cast between incompatible function types from \ ‘PyObject * (*)(struct pyrf_evsel *, PyObject *, PyObject *)’ \ uct _object * (*)(struct pyrf_evsel *, struct _object *, struct _object *)’} to \ ‘PyObject * (*)(PyObject *, PyObject *)’ {aka ‘struct _object * (*)(struct _objeuct \ _object *)’} [-Werror=cast-function-type] .ml_meth = (PyCFunction)pyrf_evsel__open, The problem with the PyMethodDef::ml_meth callback is that its type is determined based on the PyMethodDef::ml_flags value, which we set as METH_VARARGS | METH_KEYWORDS. That indicates that the callback is expecting an extra PyObject* arg, and is actually PyCFunctionWithKeywords type, but the base PyMethodDef::ml_meth type stays PyCFunction. Previous gccs did not find this, gcc8 now does. Fixing this by silencing this warning for python.c build. Commiter notes: Do not do that for CC=clang, as it breaks the build in some clang versions, like the ones in fedora up to fedora27: fedora:25:error: unknown warning option '-Wno-cast-function-type'; did you mean '-Wno-bad-function-cast'? [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option] fedora:26:error: unknown warning option '-Wno-cast-function-type'; did you mean '-Wno-bad-function-cast'?
