[cfe-dev] ccache + clang warnings that are suppressed during macro expansion

[Ted Kremenek]

Recently, a user reported to me a problem when using ccache and clang.  The issue is simple:

(1) Clang suppresses some warnings in macro expansions, e.g. -Wparentheses-equality.

(2) ccache produces preprocessed files that it uses for caching.

The combination of:

  (1) + (2)

results in ccache + clang sometimes producing more warnings than one just uses the compiler on its own.

I'm sure this is a known issue, but has this been raised before?  If not, any ideas on how we should solve this?  Is this something ccache should deal with, something clang should handle, or both?  I'm on the fence here myself, and would appreciate any opinions or suggestions.

Cheers,
Ted
