Rename compiler-warning-disable variables from
GCC_NO_warning
to
CC_WNO_warning
where warning is the full warning name as used by the compiler.
GCC_NO_IMPLICIT_FALLTHRU is CC_WNO_IMPLICIT_FALLTHROUGH
Using the convention CC_compilerflag, where compilerflag
is based on the full compiler flag name.
GCC_NO_FORMAT_TRUNCATION -Wno-format-truncation (GCC 7/8)
GCC_NO_STRINGOP_TRUNCATION -Wno-stringop-truncation (GCC 8)
GCC_NO_STRINGOP_OVERFLOW -Wno-stringop-overflow (GCC 8)
GCC_NO_CAST_FUNCTION_TYPE -Wno-cast-function-type (GCC 8)
use these to turn off warnings for most GCC-8 complaints. many
of these are false positives, most of the real bugs are already
commited, or are yet to come.
we plan to introduce versions of (some?) of these that use the
"-Wno-error=" form, which still displays the warnings but does
not make it an error, and all of the above will be re-considered
as either being "fix me" (warning still displayed) or "warning
is wrong."
a couple of very important executives on board. He was coming into
the Berkeley airport through thick fog with less than 10 miles
visibility when his instruments went out.
He began circling around looking for a landmark. Finally, a small
opening in the fog appears and he sees a tall building with a guy
working alone on the fifth floor. He banks the plane around, rolls
down the window and shouts to the guy, "Hey where am I?"
The man replies, "You're in an airplane." The pilot rolls up the
window, executes a 275 degree turn and proceeds to perform a
perfect blind landing on the airport runway 5 miles away. Just as
the plane stops, so does the engine as the fuel has run out.
The passengers are amazed and one asks how he did it.
"Quite easy," replies the pilot, "I asked the guy in that building
a simple question. The answer he gave me was 100 percent correct
but absolutely useless, therefore, that must be NetBSD's
support office and from there the airport is just five miles due
East." (Credits:

Seriously: give the reader of the manpage an idea on what this program
is for without forcing them to Google or read another manpage.
of digital video recorders popular in Europe and Australia.
These devices have a USB client port which can be used to upload and
download recordings (and other files, such as MIPS binaries for execution
on the DVR's CPU) to/from their internal hard disk, in addition to some
other operations on files and directories.
