Re: [edk2-devel] Can RELEASE target disable -Werror CC_FLAG？

Can you provide the specific build error?

So far, we have not had to relax that flag for any RELEASE builds.

Thanks,

Mike

Yes, the RELEASE build compiler flags should be relaxed, all error checks that the DEBUG target should do, it doesn't belong to the RELEASE's job.

I have added the LTO flag and dropped MDEPKG_NDEBUG in the .dsc file, it compiled successfully, the build log: https://build.tarsier-infra.com/package/live_build_log/home:ouuleilei:branches:openEuler:Mainline/edk2/openEuler_Mainline_standard_riscv64_gcc/riscv64

Do you have other way to add LTO flag to compile that don't change the source code, i tried to use environment variable, like exported CFLAGS=-flto to compile, but the compiler doesn't work with it.

主題: Re: [edk2-devel] Can RELEASE target disable -Werror CC_FLAG？
I think that you are advocating that since we have code that error checks on DEBUG and not RELEASE builds we should relax the RELEASE build compiler flags?


/home/abuild/rpmbuild/BUILD/edk2-edk2-stable202305/MdeModulePkg/Core/Dxe/Hand/Handle.c:1183:24: error: ‘Prot’ may be used uninitialized [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
      ASSERT (Prot != NULL);
      //
      // EFI_ALREADY_STARTED is not an error for bus driver.
      // Return the corresponding protocol interface.
      //
      *Interface = Prot->Interface;

A given platform can add ASSERT into release builds if it wants. I’ve actually done that for power on before. If your compiler supports LTO you are not required to set MDEPKG_NDEBUG on RELEASE builds, and you can used a PCD to configure your debug level, per build type.

Maybe we should just have the error checks in all paths?

Thanks,

Andrew Fish

I want to build a rpm package for edk2-stable202305 on riscv64, however I get some uninitialized variable error, I have found that the reason is -Werror flag.
My build target was release. I think the flag should used in the debug ,not in release.
My build command:  build -t GCC5 -n $NCPUS -b RELEASE -a RISCV64 -p OvmfPkg/RiscVVirt/RiscVVirtQemu.dsc -D SECURE_BOOT_ENABLE=TRUE -D TPM_ENABLE=TRUE -D TPM_CONFIG_ENABLE=TRUE
