Adding -qHALT=E to CFLAGS on AIX
Ad
Why add -qHALT=E to CFLAGS on AIX (build/apr_hints.m4)? That seems
like an undue burden. It forces the client application to work with
-qHALT=E. I don't see an equivalent restriction for Solaris
(-errwarn), HP-UX (+We), Tru64 UNIX (-msg_error), etc. Subversion, for
example, breaks with this.
*-ibm-aix*)
...
dnl If using xlc, remember it, and give it the right options.
if $CC 2>&1 | grep 'xlc' > /dev/null; then
APR_SETIFNULL(AIX_XLC, [yes])
APR_ADDTO(CFLAGS, [-qHALT=E])
fi
For some reason I suspect that the Subversion folks would be pleased to know that, and eager to resolve the warning/error/whatever. But I understand how somebody taking some standard package may not be so keen on resolving language nuances which could possibly be ignored. I guess your experience differs, but in my experience, the same sort of thing that won't compile with xlc will often have compile failures with vendor compiler for HP-UX, Tru64, or z/OS as well (all using APR-specified options). (I had cron jobs reporting build issues on various platforms for a lot of the busier stage of APR development; somebody would check in something not quite right and AIX, HP-UX, and Tru64 would very often report the same problem. I don't recall any onerous failures specific to AIX.) Removing this could possibly affect autoconfiguration.
