Actually, *other* tests in the same configure script will give wrong results if "-Werror" passed, so ideally it should be easy to give "-Werror" for that single test only. So maybe filtering by default but storing information whether "-Werror" was part of original CFLAGS (CXXFLAGS, CPPFLAGS?) to documented variable or other part of official API for configure.ac author to reinstate "-Werror" at will. This leaves me just wrapping my head around what will happen to other variables with values based on contents of CFLAGS while it was filtered, and does it even matter. - ML _______________________________________________ Autoconf mailing list Autoconf@xxxxxxx https://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/autoconf
