Subject: perf tools: Fix build failure on perl script context
From: Namhyung Kim <namhyung@xxxxxxxxxx>
commit b581c01fff646b5075d65359c8667de9c667da9e upstream.
On my Archlinux machine, perf faild to build like below:
CC scripts/perl/Perf-Trace-Util/Context.o
In file included from /usr/lib/perl5/core/perl/CORE/perl.h:3905:0,
from Context.xs:23:
/usr/lib/perl5/core/perl/CORE/inline.h: In function :
/usr/lib/perl5/core/perl/CORE/cop.h:612:13: warning: declaration of 'av'
shadows a previous local [-Werror-shadow]
AV *av =3D GvAV(PL_defgv);
^
/usr/lib/perl5/core/perl/CORE/inline.h:526:5: note: in expansion of
macro 'CX_POP_SAVEARRAY'
CX_POP_SAVEARRAY(cx);
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In file included from /usr/lib/perl5/core/perl/CORE/perl.h:5853:0,
from Context.xs:23:
/usr/lib/perl5/core/perl/CORE/inline.h:518:9: note:
shadowed declaration is here
AV *av;
^~
What I did to fix is adding '-Wno-shadow' as the error message said it's
the cause of the failure. Since it's from the perl (not perf) code
base, we don't have the control so I just wanted to ignore the warning
when compiling perl scripting code.
Committer note:
This also fixes the build on Fedora Rawhide.
