[PATCH 5.14 001/432] Makefile: use -Wno-main in the full kernel tree

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



From: Randy Dunlap <rdunlap@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>

commit 49832c819ab85b33b7a2a1429c8d067e82be2977 upstream.

When using gcc (SUSE Linux) 7.5.0 (on openSUSE 15.3), I see a build
warning:

  kernel/trace/trace_osnoise.c: In function 'start_kthread':
  kernel/trace/trace_osnoise.c:1461:8: warning: 'main' is usually a function [-Wmain]
    void *main = osnoise_main;
          ^~~~

Quieten that warning by using "-Wno-main".  It's OK to use "main" as a
declaration name in the kernel.

Build-tested on most ARCHes.

[ v2: only do it for gcc, since clang doesn't have that particular warning ]
