dnl Check whether the compiler supports particular flags.
dnl
dnl Provides RRA_PROG_CC_FLAG, which checks whether a compiler supports a
dnl given flag. If it does, the commands in the second argument are run. If
dnl not, the commands in the third argument are run.
dnl
dnl Provides RRA_PROG_CC_WARNINGS_FLAGS, which checks whether a compiler
dnl supports a large set of warning flags and sets the WARNINGS_CFLAGS
dnl substitution variable to all of the supported warning flags. (Note that
dnl this may be too aggressive for some people.)
dnl
dnl Depends on RRA_PROG_CC_CLANG.

dnl Determine the full set of viable warning flags for the current compiler.
dnl
dnl This is based partly on personal preference and is a fairly aggressive set
dnl of warnings. Desirable CC warnings that can't be turned on due to other
dnl problems:
dnl
dnl -Wsign-conversion Too many fiddly changes for the benefit
dnl -Wstack-protector Too many false positives from small buffers
dnl
dnl Last checked against gcc 9.2.1 (2019-09-01). -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 enables
dnl warn_unused_result attribute markings on glibc functions on Linux, which
dnl catches a few more issues. Add -O2 because gcc won't find some warnings
dnl without optimization turned on.
dnl
dnl For Clang, we try to use -Weverything, but we have to disable some of the
dnl warnings:
dnl
dnl -Wcast-qual Some structs require casting away const
dnl -Wdisabled-macro-expansion Triggers on libc (sigaction.sa_handler)
dnl -Wpadded Not an actual problem
dnl -Wreserved-id-macros Autoconf sets several of these normally
dnl -Wsign-conversion Too many fiddly changes for the benefit
dnl -Wtautological-pointer-compare False positives with for loops
dnl -Wundef Conflicts with Autoconf probe results
dnl -Wunreachable-code Happens with optional compilation
dnl -Wunreachable-code-return Other compilers get confused
dnl -Wunused-macros Often used on suppressed branches
dnl -Wused-but-marked-unused Happens a lot with conditional code
dnl
dnl Sets WARNINGS_CFLAGS as a substitution variable.
