[Qemu-trivial] [PATCH] tests/Makefile: Suppress format-security warnings


From: Peter Maydell
Subject: [Qemu-trivial] [PATCH] tests/Makefile: Suppress format-security warnings on JSON tests
Date: Wed, 26 Feb 2014 22:47:41 +0000

Some of our test binaries programmatically generate JSON format
strings to feed to qobject_from_json(). Since that function is
marked with GCC_FMT_ATTR(), clang complains about this:
 tests/test-qmp-input-visitor.c:76:35: warning: format string is not a
 string literal (potentially insecure) [-Wformat-security]
    data->obj = qobject_from_json(json_string);
                                  ^~~~~~~~~~~

Since these are only test cases and not potential attack vectors,
the simplest approach is simply to suppress this particular
compiler warning when compiling the relevant test cases.

I couldn't think of a better way to do this...
