I tend to think they should provide a way to squelch that warning, as it is too presumtous that apps will only ever need to set the basic warning flags, instead of warning to set many like libvirt does. Or maybe, meson can be enhanced to allow setting many warnings like libvirt uses > + > foreach flag : cc_flags_disabled > if cc_flags.contains(flag) > error('@0@ is disabled but listed in cc_flags'.format(flag)) > -- > 2.26.2 > Regards, Daniel -- |: https://berrange.com -o- https://www.flickr.com/photos/dberrange :| |: https://libvirt.org -o- https://fstop138.berrange.com :| |: https://entangle-photo.org -o- https://www.instagram.com/dberrange :|
