gui: Building with gcc 9 prints a trillion warnings (-Wdeprecated-copy)

MarcoFalke commented at 7:03 pm on April 15, 2019: member

Some of them are legitimate, but others are in upstream library headers from qt (5.12.1-1.fc30)

The version of gcc I was using:

0$ gcc --version
1gcc (GCC) 9.0.1 20190312 (Red Hat 9.0.1-0.10)
2Copyright (C) 2019 Free Software Foundation, Inc.

There has been a recent fixup (https://github.com/gcc-mirror/gcc/commit/482bd38ed8984aad9b1560405e7b3d775c194ccd). The date suggests that this was fixed in the version of gcc I was using, but the warnings are still printed.

Some example warnings:

@practicalswift So, fedora has an old gcc-9, it seems. Albeit the version claims otherwise.

No, this can be reproduced on fedora:30 and debian:experimental

@MarcoFalke Please note that I excluded warnings for /usr and leveldb to show only the project local warnings of which one is -Wdeprecated-copy:

0$ make 2>&1 | grep "warning: " | grep -vE '(^/usr|leveldb)'
1interfaces/chain.cpp:263:25: warning: redundant move in return statement [-Wredundant-move]

5wallet/wallettool.cpp:62:25: warning: catching polymorphic type ‘const class std::runtime_error’ by value [-Wcatch-value=]

This is the result without the exclusion:

This will probably be fixed in qt 5.13

fanquake commented at 1:38 pm on June 3, 2019: member

@MarcoFalke Do you want to move to a newer Qt in depends, or is this issue just to keep track of the warnings until 5.13 is released?

MarcoFalke commented at 8:54 am on June 5, 2019: member

I think developers don’t build from depends, usually, so there is no pressing need to bump it in depends.

Sjors commented at 1:21 pm on July 11, 2019: member

I get flooded by warnings along the lines of:

0ld: warning: direct access in function 'boost::system::detail::system_error_category::default_error_condition(int) const' from file '[...]/bitcoin/depends/x86_64-apple-darwin18.6.0/lib/libboost_filesystem-mt-x64.a(operations.o)' to global weak symbol 'guard variable for boost::system::generic_category()::generic_category_instance' from file 'libbitcoin_util.a(libbitcoin_util_a-time.o)' means the weak symbol cannot be overridden at runtime. This was likely caused by different translation units being compiled with different visibility settings.

That’s not just QT though, so maybe a different issue?

MarcoFalke commented at 1:32 pm on September 30, 2019: member

Apparently this is planned to be backported to 5.12: https://codereview.qt-project.org/c/qt/qtbase/+/272258

There is also --enable-suppress-external-warnings in our configure, which suppresses them.
