Subject: Eliminate warnings in the emacs-25 release branch
Date: Wed, 18 Nov 2015 09:44:04 -0800

By my count today, there are 461 byte-compilation warnings on the emacs-25
branch. This issue is here as a release blocker to deal with, or silence,
these warnings.

How do I mark this as a release blocker when creating an e-mail report?

John

Not sure what exactly did you want to know, but admin/release-process
might answer that; search for "blocking".

How will we silence them? with-no-warnings?

Sorry, but I have to say that I think this goal is firstly unachievable,
and secondly won't make the release any better. In fact probably the
opposite, by distracting from more important issues.

I think I just fixed this one, but someone building on a system other 
than Cygwin will have to confirm.

I agree that we cannot silence or solve all of them, but we should be
able to do that with most of them.

Confirmed.

However, if you test for cygwin-convert-file-name-from-windows being
bound, do you still need the test for Cygwin in addition to that?

[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Quite a few of these are about using obsolete functions inside features
that are themselves obsolete (their files are in the obsolete subdir).
Maybe we can just suppress this kind of warning inside the obsolete subdir.
Perhaps with a dir-local-variable?

No, I've now removed it.  Thanks.

Sounds good to me.

If no one objects in a couple of days, please do that.

I'll take care of this before the release.

I think fixing these would require backward incompatible changes in
diary-lib.el which would break external code.  Since this file is an
obsolete version of Todo mode, I hope these warnings aren't considered
blockers.

I've never worked on a project where getting to warning free was not both
achievable, and a good idea.

For example, at one point the Borland C++ compiler had over 4,000 warnings. As
such, every one of them was completely ignored. Later on, after much effort,
we reduced that number to zero. While doing so, we discovered that a crash bug
we'd been working for _days_ was loudly pointed out to us by the compiler in
that same set of warnings. Had the warnings been "real" to us, it would have
saved days of developer time, on several occasions. It's worth the effort.

Having enough warnings that they no longer warn of anything is pretty much the
same as turning them off. That's why I don't accept the "it's too hard"
argument. If it adds another month or two to our release cycle, so be it.
Emacs 25.1 is the time to get them under control.

Some warnings are not wise to fix, and these should be silenced; but such
decisions should be made either by class within a package, or individually.

What will you get, as a result?

I can get behind taking care of "correctness" warnings, but if we lose 
the obsolete functions warnings, we risk forgetting to take care of 
their causes.

And it's not like we can actually fix all instances of obsolete usages 
before the current release: a significant part of the warnings comes 
from gnus, org, cc-mode and calendar, all of which, I'm assuming, have 
to support older Emacsen.

We _should_ be able to take care of CEDET warnings, but probably after 
their development migrates here.

If that's the case, I'm willing to filter those from the final count before
closing this issue. Then, in 25.2, we can focus on eliminating those as well.

That's good to hear; but can that happen for 25.1? CEDET is rather egregious
in the warnings category right now. If that means suppressing warnings
throughout CEDET for this release, I'm OK with that as a temporary measure.

By 25.2, anything that is built using "make" should be warning free, both C
and Emacs Lisp, using whatever reference platform we define as the litmus
test. I'll be building on that platform regularly, to report new warnings.

I don't think anyone was lobbying for shutting up the obsolete
functions/variables warnings.  And I agree that the way to fix them
should not be just shutting them up.

That might be true, but a large number of CEDET warnings have nothing
to do with obsolete functions.

IOW, even if we cut the warnings from there by half, we've already
done a good job. because currently I cannot even see the file names
due to the warnings, they drown.

Is anything going to change for these packages after the 25.1 release?

Many of those can be fixed semi-mechanically, by removing colons from 
the keyword names. That should be deferred until after the transition, 
though, in order not to cause needless merge conflicts.

We can stop worrying about warnings in C: there are none, and a few
people regularly compile with pedantic compiler switches and fix
whatever they flag.

The problem of warnings is limited to Lisp, and then mostly to a few
specific packages.  Dmitry mentioned some of them.  From my POV, the
worst barrage is in CEDET, so IMO that should be the place where we
apply the first efforts.

At least on Windows, that's not entirely true. I compile with very pedantic
switches.

I had to add "-Wno-missing-prototypes -Wno-missing-declarations

I'd love to address those as well, although I can't make it a blocker for
release. GNU platforms will have to determine the "gold standard", even if we
make it a point of pride to tackle warnings everywhere we find them.

On that note (and I think I mentioned in another thread), I'm working with
aconole on IRC to get the Coverity build up and running again regularly, which
should produce another volume of warnings to scan through. If it works well,
it should be like getting some free code review on our C. We'll see.

Finally, there is running under valgrind, and addressing warnings that appear
there too.

I would be quite happy if the 25.x cycle emphasized correctness and fewer bugs
over "headline features" leading up 26. It might not be as sexy or print-
worthy, but it builds a better foundation for future contributors.

We will fix those warnings for 25.1.

As you can see, almost all those warning are due to changes in EIEIO. We
couldn't fix those warnings until now because we wanted to support older
Emacsen as well. Since supporting both EIEIO versions would be a huge
hassle, we reluctantly decided to drop support for older Emacsen. At the
same time, we will also drop our upstream repository and move
development to Emacs.

I will have to do one last merge, but before I can do that, I have to
port our test suite to make sure I do it correctly. I hope I will find
the time to do all this before the new year.

There's no reason whatsoever that warnings about discarding 'const'
should block any release.

I mean whatever your itch is.

I routinely examine these warnings, usually when I add some
significant new code, and each time I find the warnings to be false
alarms.  The problem with fixing them is that either you need to
sprinkle ugly casts everywhere, or you start changing declarations,
and that spreads warnings like cancer through all the related code,
and you end up changing too much, or hit a brick wall and use casts
again.  So I normally fix low-hanging fruit, and leave the rest for a
rainy day.

But that's me.  Any changes that bring these warnings down are
welcome, if you have no itches that need scratching more urgently.

I do the same. There are quite a few that I've looked at, and decided they
were false alarms, or the fix was ugly.

No, some of those warnings are bugs. I've fixed a few, but I have not
fixed them all; I'm waiting for the merge.

I'm no fan of compilation warnings and have done my bit to remove them
over the years. There was a brief glorious period a long time ago when
there were none, but it did not last, and I doubt it will return.

Actually really removing all warnings will require changes of a scale
and nature that are incompatible (IMO) with a release branch, and
break backwards compatibility all over the place. There may be a
handful of issues that are "real" and can be fixed simply, but most of
these are about relatively deep changes in Emacs infrastructure (eg
prep for lexical binding) for which the codebase hasn't been entirely
updated. Slapping with-no-warnings all over the place would be
pointless at best, frankly harmful since it just covers the issue up
without dealing with it (might as well just set byte-compile-warnings
= nil in the Makefile for all the good it would do).

In any case, .elc files are pre-built in release tarfiles, so people
building releases don't even see these warnings. So making it a release
goal doesn't make sense to me.

You know, that's a really good point.

Perhaps this then: Development goal to reduce warnings as much as is feasible.
Long-term development goal to eliminate them. Release is not block either way.

How does that sound, Eli, if Drew is right about users not seeing the
warnings?

Sir, I take exception to that!  :-)  Last time I looked (about 10 minutes
ago), CC Mode produced but a single byte compiler warning.

That partly explains the warning left in CC Mode, yes.

That's a pretty cool result. I don't see any warnings left, actually.

I see you're taking a systematic approach to backward compatibility, 
with dynamic selection of definitions, aliases (and probably something 
else). Were any of those made specifically to avoid a byte-compilation 
warning? I wonder if that's worth it.

Actually, at the time I wrote that email, there were two.  One of those
only showed itself when the cc-*.el files were compiled one at a time
(as is done in building Emacs) rather than all together.  But I've got
rid of these last two too.

The backward compatibility stuff has been there for decades (well, over
ten years anyway, possibly over twenty).  Most of the stuff in cc-fix.el
has been fixed in all supported platforms, in particular in Emacs.  That
is why cc-fix.el isn't needed (and doesn't exist) in Emacs.  But
`delete-dups' still doesn't exist in XEmacs 21.4.x.

Whether it's worth it?  I suppose, some time "soon", I should get rid of
backward compatibility stuff not needed any more, and also wierd hacks
(like defining a function with "(eval '(defun cc-bytecomp-load ...))"
because a proper byte compilation caused XEmacs to dump core back in
2003).

Right. Apparently, I just tested with that last fix already pulled.

I meant specifically compatibility code designed to avoid byte 
compilation warnings (like ones about obsolete functions usage), but not 
errors, on any of the supported platforms.

I've been under impression that an old-enough package must have some of 
those.

There are none of these in CC Mode, so far as I'm aware.

But it seems to me we are getting a lot more of these "obsolete"
warnings than we used to - well over 800 at the latest count.

I would have thought so too.

Stefan has offered to clean this stuff up several times, eg most recently

There are three in the mingw64 build (on emacs-25 or master branch):

../../src/w32.c: In function 'sys_socket':
../../src/w32.c:7435:14: warning: overflow in implicit constant conversion [-Woverflow]
       return INVALID_SOCKET;
              ^

    pWideCharToMultiByte = GetProcAddress (ret, "WideCharToMultiByte");
                         ^

The following patch fixes them. Note that on 64bit windows a socket
handle is a 64bit type, so using int for socket handles is not entirely
correct, but does not seem to cause problems.

Hi,

sorry being late here.

As any change might create a new bug, IMO it's better to tackle this not 
shortly before, rather after a release.
It's about an easier development, not function itself.

Glad to see the ship taking course, thanks all,

Andreas

Experience shows that things deferred toll "after the release" tend to
remain unhandled.

We still have a lot of time before the release, and didn't get
anywhere close to a stable codebase, so there's nothing wrong in
trying to fix some of the warnings now.

TIA

Completely agree with Eli. I've seen "after the release" become "fifteen years
later, still not done" before.

Having a usable ToDo-list, which would consider urgency and hierarchy of 
some tasks, being re-adjusted from time to time, might change the game.

Not sure if this is possible in a free world :)

That might be a start, but won't change things by itself.  We alsp
need developers who work on items _because_ they are in the todo list.
