Bug ID: 98943 Summary: gcc driver does not fail on unknown files: tricks configure scripts to recognize /W4 and -diag-disable 1,2,3,4 options Product: gcc Version: 11.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: driver Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: slyfox at gcc dot gnu.org Target Milestone: --- Example failures are extracted from Gentoo downstream: - https://bugs.gentoo.org/768399: gdal build failure (-diag-disable) - https://bugs.gentoo.org/768222: lz4 build failure (/W4 option) $ gcc-11.0.0 /W4 -c -x c /dev/null gcc-11.0.0: warning: /W4: linker input file unused because linking not done $ gcc-10.2.0 /W4 -c -x c /dev/null gcc-10.2.0: error: /W4: No such file or directory $ gcc-11.0.0 -diag-disable 188,1684,2259,2304,3280,11074,11076 -c -x c /dev/null cc1: warning: unrecognized gcc debugging option: i cc1: warning: unrecognized gcc debugging option: g cc1: warning: unrecognized gcc debugging option: - cc1: warning: unrecognized gcc debugging option: d cc1: warning: unrecognized gcc debugging option: i cc1: warning: unrecognized gcc debugging option: s cc1: warning: unrecognized gcc debugging option: b cc1: warning: unrecognized gcc debugging option: l cc1: warning: unrecognized gcc debugging option: e gcc-11.0.0: warning: 188,1684,2259,2304,3280,11074,11076: linker input file unused because linking not done $ gcc-10.2.0 -diag-disable 188,1684,2259,2304,3280,11074,11076 -c -x c /dev/null gcc-10.2.0: error: 188,1684,2259,2304,3280,11074,11076: No such file or directory Was gcc change intentional and upstream packages should try harder to test flags against linker as well? Or it's an unintentional gcc change? Thanks! $ gcc -v Using built-in specs.
