I do not mind either way. BTW, this makefile is somewhat corrupted because ../greybus_protocols.h does not exist. (but it is working, relying on the built-in rules) If Arnd does not mind sending v4, maybe we can split this into two paches: 1/4 : add -Wno-shift-negative-value where -Wextra is used 2/4 : Kbuild: move to -std=gnu11 1/4 adds -Wno-shift-negative-value whether it is the kernel space or user-land. -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada

This ECO system has its own rules. I use CONFIG_DEBUG_INFO_BTF=y in my kernels which means tools/bpf/resolve_btfids will be built. This uses hardcoded -std=gnu89. $ git grep 'std=gnu89' tools/ tools/lib/bpf/Makefile:override CFLAGS += -std=gnu89 tools/testing/selftests/sync/Makefile:CFLAGS += -O2 -g -std=gnu89 -pthread -Wall -Wextra Furthermore, we have several places using C99 which can be replaced by C11 now. $ git grep 'std=gnu99' tools/ | wc -l 20 We already have C11 in tools/: $ git grep 'std=gnu11' tools/ tools/testing/selftests/wireguard/qemu/Makefile: $(MUSL_CC) -o $@ $(CFLAGS) $(LDFLAGS) -std=gnu11 $< What about having a central place where we define the STD_GNU_C_VERSION (as a suggestion)? This might be helpful for people dealing with diverse C version standards. Also with STD_GNU_CXX_VERSION which is used AFAICS only in tools/: $ git grep 'std=gnu++' tools/ tools/build/feature/Makefile: $(BUILDXX) -std=gnu++11 tools/build/feature/Makefile: $(BUILDXX) -std=gnu++14 \ tools/build/feature/Makefile: $(BUILDXX) -std=gnu++14 \ tools/build/feature/Makefile: $(BUILDXX) -std=gnu++14 \ tools/perf/Makefile.config:CXXFLAGS += -std=gnu++14 -fno-exceptions -fno-rtti Looks like one place should be -std=gnu++14. ( I had no deeper look. No testing. ) Just some thoughts. - Sedat - > --- > [v3] > - split out USERCFLAGS to a separate patch > - add -Wdeclaration-after-statement patch from Mark Rutland > - leave out C17 reference > - more rewording the descrption > > [v2] > -
