Always filtering seems a bit too strong - I think that filtering -Werror requires at least some request from the configure.ac writer that filtering -Werror is intended. > - when -Werror was filtered out, configure prints a message like > "filtering out -Werror during configure" > - when -Werror was filtered out, AC_OUTPUT re-adds it Indeed, this is what I would do if the filtering were done. But maybe I can be convinced that always filtering -Werror from user-input CFLAGS for the duration of configure makes sense, and agree with changing AC_PROG_CC to do this automatically instead of requiring configure.ac consent to the filtering. At this point, patches would speak louder than words (that goes for me, as well, since I sparked the debate without any proposed patch). -- Eric Blake [email protected] +1-919-301-3266 Libvirt virtualization library http://libvirt.org
