Warning suppression mappings | ||

Introduction | ||
============ | ||
|
||
Warning suppression mappings enable users to suppress Clang's diagnostics at a | ||
per-file granularity. This allows enforcing diagnostics in specific parts of the | ||
project even if there are violations in some headers. | ||
|
||
Goal and usage | ||
============== | ||
|
||
Clang allows diagnostics to be configured at a translation-unit granularity. | ||
If a ``foo.cpp`` is compiled with ``-Wfoo``, all transitively included headers | ||
also need to be clean. Hence, turning on new warnings in large codebases | ||
requires cleaning up all the existing warnings. This might not be possible when | ||
some dependencies aren't in the project owner's control or because new | ||
violations are creeping up quicker than the clean up. | ||
|
||
Warning suppression mappings aim to alleviate some of these concerns by making | ||
diagnostic configuration granularity finer, at a source file level. | ||
|
||
To achieve this, user can create a file that lists which :doc:`diagnostic | ||
groups <DiagnosticsReference>` to suppress in which files or paths, and pass it | ||
as a command line argument to Clang with the ``--warning-suppression-mappings`` | ||
flag. | ||
|
||
Note that this mechanism won't enable any diagnostics on its own. Users should | ||
still turn on warnings in their compilations with explicit ``-Wfoo`` flags. | ||
`Controlling diagnostics pragmas | ||
<https://clang.llvm.org/docs/UsersManual.html#controlling-diagnostics-via-pragmas>`_ | ||
take precedence over suppression mappings. Ensuring code author's explicit | ||
intent is always preserved. | ||
|
||
Example | ||
======= | ||
|
||
.. code-block:: bash | ||
$ cat my/user/code.cpp | ||
#include <foo/bar.h> | ||
namespace { void unused_func1(); } | ||
$ cat foo/bar.h | ||
namespace { void unused_func2(); } | ||
$ cat suppression_mappings.txt | ||
# Suppress -Wunused warnings in all files, apart from the ones under `foo/`. | ||
[unused] | ||
src:* | ||
src:*foo/*=emit | ||
$ clang -Wunused --warning-suppression-mappings=suppression_mappings.txt my/user/code.cpp | ||
# prints warning: unused function 'unused_func2', but no warnings for `unused_func1`. | ||
Format | ||
====== | ||
|
||
Warning suppression mappings uses the same format as | ||
:doc:`SanitizerSpecialCaseList`. | ||
|
||
Sections describe which diagnostic group's behaviour to change, e.g. | ||
``[unused]``. When a diagnostic is matched by multiple sections, the latest | ||
section takes precedence. | ||
|
||
Afterwards in each section, users can have multiple entities that match source | ||
files based on the globs. These entities look like ``src:*/my/dir/*``. | ||
Users can also use the ``emit`` category to exclude a subdirectory from | ||
suppression. | ||
Source files are matched against these globs either: | ||
|
||
- as paths relative to the current working directory | ||
- as absolute paths. | ||
|
||
When a source file matches multiple globs in a section, the longest one takes | ||
precedence. | ||
|
||
.. code-block:: bash | ||
# Lines starting with # are ignored. | ||
# Configure suppression globs for `-Wunused` warnings | ||
[unused] | ||
# Suppress on all files by default. | ||
src:* | ||
# But enforce for all the sources under foo/. | ||
src:*foo/*=emit | ||
# unused-function warnings are a subgroup of `-Wunused`. So this section | ||
# takes precedence over the previous one for unused-function warnings, but | ||
# not for unused-variable warnings. | ||
[unused-function] | ||
# Only suppress for sources under bar/. | ||
src:*bar/* |
