[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] build: try improve handling of clang warnings

[Gerd Hoffmann]

This patch disables the pragma diagnostic -Wunused-but-set-variable for
clang in util/coroutine-ucontext.c.

This in turn allows us to remove it from the configure check, so the
CONFIG_PRAGMA_DIAGNOSTIC_AVAILABLE will succeed for clang.

With that in place clang builds (linux) will use -Werror by default,
which breaks the build due to warning about unaligned struct members.

Given that our structs are often dictated by the hardware qemu emulates
and the file formats we use this can't be fixed easily, so I think it is
reasonaable to turn off this warning.  Do so by adding
-Wno-address-of-packed-member to our list of warning flags.

Now clang builds qemu without warnings.  Well, almost.  There are some
left in the rdma code.  Leaving that to the rdma people.  All others can
use --disable-rdma to workarounds this.
