Subject: [PATCH v3] README: start a section for documenting CFLAGS
Date: Mon, 8 Jun 2020 17:38:16 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200608223816.17039-1-william.c.roberts@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <CAEjxPJ7AtH67Gdoj6eHGJ22mXWYHWOqaRZP+Gi18aR5iJeJ5Cg@mail.gmail.com>
From: William Roberts <william.c.roberts@intel.com>
Start a section in the README for documenting that custom CFLAGS yields
custom results and that your mileage may vary. The first CFLAG to
document that you likely want to include is -fno-semantic-interposition.
Signed-off-by: William Roberts <william.c.roberts@intel.com>
---
v3:
- lowercased CUSTOM in the commit message.
- Updated -fsemantic-interposition to -fno-semantic-interposition in
the commit message and README file.
v2:
- Fixed commit message spelling of yields.
- Reduced usages of CFLAGS in documentation.

+## Setting CFLAGS
+
+Setting CFLAGS during the make process will cause the omission of many defaults. While the project strives
+to provide a reasonable set of default flags, custom CFLAGS could break the build, or have other undesired
+changes on the build output. Thus, be very careful when setting CFLAGS. CFLAGS that are encouraged to be
+set when overriding are:
+
+- -fno-semantic-interposition for gcc or compilers that do not do this. clang does this by default. clang-10 and up
+ will support passing this flag, but ignore it. Previous clang versions fail.
