How to set different warning levels for different files? - cmake

While I can set different warning levels depending on the compiler, e.g.:
if(MSVC)
target_compile_options(${TARGET_NAME} PRIVATE /W4 /WX)
else()
target_compile_options(${TARGET_NAME} PRIVATE -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -Werror)
endif()
I cannot set them on a file by file basis.
In the same directory, I have a set of files whose names are in the ${SRC_WARN} CMake variable, which need a different warning level compared to the others.
Is there a way to specify such a condition with target_compile_options?

You can set compile options (COMPILE_OPTIONS) for a single file (or group of files) using set_source_files_properties(). You can change the COMPILE_OPTIONS for your ${SRC_WARN} source files by adding to your existing CMake code:
if(MSVC)
target_compile_options(${TARGET_NAME} PRIVATE /W4 /WX)
# Change these files to have warning level 2.
set_source_files_properties(${SRC_WARN} PROPERTIES COMPILE_OPTIONS /W2)
else()
target_compile_options(${TARGET_NAME} PRIVATE -Wall -Wextra -pedantic -Werror)
# Change these files to inhibit all warnings.
set_source_files_properties(${SRC_WARN} PROPERTIES COMPILE_OPTIONS -w)
endif()

fortran defined macro ignored with cmake

I am trying to create a new macro in a Fortran file. Such file is one of many in a bigger project. It is compiled through a CMake file and gfortran.
For its simplicity I just included a simple example:
#define hello call
module SIO_ncDimBounds_mod
use SIO_ncParams_mod, only: MAX_DIMLEN_NAME
...
logical, parameter :: ISDEBUG = .false.
hello -> not recognized as Macro
When It is compiled it is ignored so it raises an error:
../soulio/src/ncDimBounds_mod.F90:34:2:
34 | hello
| 1
Error: Unclassifiable statement at (1)
As far as I understand, with upper case file extension should be enough to execute the preprocessor. I also checked the '-cpp' flag is enabled. I doubled checked with verbose mode to ensure it is enabled:

I did a simple and isolated test with a fortran file with an uppercase extension, as expected it works.
Why is the macro not replaced with CMake? It seems to me the preprocessor it is not called.
Edit:
'hello' is changed to lowercase
If we change the example to
subroutine silly()
print *, 'It works'
return
end subroutine silly
#define hello call
program main
hello silly
stop
end program main
and build using
gfortran -cpp macro.f90
This builds without any problems. If I just have hello on its own, then I get a syntax error.
First, make sure your program is valid. call on its own will generate an error. You need to call something.
Could you try building without cmake? If it works without cmake and doesn't work with cmake then it is a cmake problem. Otherwise, you just have a problem with your code.

Compiler flags settings in CMAKE scripts

I am facing below issue while running my build:
C:/Test.cpp: In member function '........':
C:/Test.cpp:291:50: error: 'round_one' may be used uninitialized in this function [-Werror=maybe-uninitialized]
I tried to grep for string maybe-uninitialized in my whole source code but I could not find one. I was expecting some declaration like below:
set_source_files_properties(ROOT_DIR/Test.cpp PROPERTIES COMPILE_FLAGS "-Wno-maybe-uninitialized -Wno-misleading-indentation" )
or
SET(GCC_COVERAGE_COMPILE_FLAGS "-Wno-maybe-uninitialized")
add_definitions(${GCC_COVERAGE_COMPILE_FLAGS})
But I could not find any - please let me know how Compiler flags are set in CMAKE utility?
The warning -Wmaybe-uninitialized is one of those that are enabled
by -Wall.
-Wall is always specified by proficient programmers. Warnings will be converted
to errors by -Werror, so the flags -Wall -Werror will produce -Werror=maybe-uninitialized,
as per your diagnostic, if a potentially uninitialized variable is detected.
You will very likely find -Wall ... -Werror in the specified compiler flags in the relevant CMakeLists.txt
One way is setting the add compiler flag for the project:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
# Project
project(008-compile-flags-01)
# Add compile flag
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -DHELLO_WORLD" CACHE STRING "Hello World Define." FORCE)
# Executable source files
set(executable_SOURCES src/main.cpp)
# Executable
add_executable(executable ${executable_SOURCES})
Other way is setting compiler flag for the target:
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 3.2)
# Project
project(008-compile-flags-03)
# Executable source files
set(executable_SOURCES src/main.cpp)
# Executable
add_executable(executable ${executable_SOURCES})
# Add compile flag
target_compile_options(executable PRIVATE -DHELLO_WORLD)
Other way is using target_compile_features. I haven't used this before. Please see:
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/command/target_compile_features.html
https://cmake.org/cmake/help/latest/prop_gbl/CMAKE_CXX_KNOWN_FEATURES.html

CMake not respecting command line options

Ubuntu 14_04, gcc 4.8.4, cmake 2.8.12.2
I wish to add additional options to UnitTest++. I added code coverage via UTPP_CODE_COVERAGE but leave it off for regular builds. This seemed to fail - nothing is in the Makefile that looks to be specified via the set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS option.
So I looked at whether the UTPP_AMPLIFY_WARNINGS command works
Whether I compile with it on or off, no difference is made to the Makefile.
At the terminal I compile with
$ cmake -G "Unix Makefiles" -DUTPP_AMPLIFY_WARNINGS=ON ../
But when I analyse the generated Makefile -Wall is nowhere to be found in the output. It's not even in the CMakeCache.txt
What am I doing wrong?
I can confirm what you have observed. There seems that the required warning level is already default in the CMakeLists.txt file and also the command set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -Wall -Wextra -Werror") setting the -Wall flag is reached and executed (have tested this using message(). If there is no other answer here, at least you know you are not alone wondering how it comes.
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8.1)
project(UnitTest++)
option(UTPP_USE_PLUS_SIGN
"Set this to OFF if you wish to use '-cpp' instead of '++' in lib/include paths"
ON)
option(UTPP_INCLUDE_TESTS_IN_BUILD
"Set this to OFF if you do not wish to automatically build or run unit tests as part of the default cmake --build"
ON)
option(UTPP_AMPLIFY_WARNINGS
"Set this to OFF if you wish to use CMake default warning levels; should generally only use to work around support issues for your specific compiler"
ON)
...
# up warning level for project
if (${UTPP_AMPLIFY_WARNINGS})
# instead of getting compiler specific, we're going to try making an assumption that an existing /W# means
# we are dealing with an MSVC or MSVC-like compiler (e.g. Intel on Windows)
if(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS MATCHES "/W[0-4]")
# message(STATUS "CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS MATCHES")
string(REGEX REPLACE "/W[0-4]" "/W4" CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} /WX")
else()
# message(STATUS "set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS")
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -Wall -Wextra -Werror")
endif()

link pthread statically with cmake

How can I get CMake to link pthread statically on Windows? I use MSYS2 MinGW 32 bit and cmake v3.7.
What I would like to achieve is a compiler invocation like
g++ -static-libgcc -static-libstdc++ -std=c++11 -o test test.cpp -Wl,-Bstatic -lpthread
Setting
target_link_libraries(test PUBLIC "-Wl,-Bstatic -lpthread")
results in -Wl,-Bdynamic -Wl,-Bstatic -lpthread being called. If I change CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS, pthreads is included before my object files and thus symbols are not resolved.
find the Threads module:
find_package(Threads REQUIRED)
add_executable(myApp main.cpp)
target_link_libraries(myApp Threads::Threads)
Note from the documentation:
For systems with multiple thread libraries, caller can set CMAKE_THREAD_PREFER_PTHREAD
As the FindThreads.cmake mention in its source code:
# For systems with multiple thread libraries, caller can set
#
# ::
#
# CMAKE_THREAD_PREFER_PTHREAD
#
# If the use of the -pthread compiler and linker flag is preferred then the
# caller can set
#
# ::
#
# THREADS_PREFER_PTHREAD_FLAG
#
# Please note that the compiler flag can only be used with the imported
# target. Use of both the imported target as well as this switch is highly
# recommended for new code.
So in addition to what already said, you might need to set the additional flag THREADS_PREFER_PTHREAD_FLAG. In some systems (OSX, etc.) this flag is needed at compilation time because it defines some macros that would be missing if you would only link -lpthread.
set(CMAKE_THREAD_PREFER_PTHREAD TRUE)
set(THREADS_PREFER_PTHREAD_FLAG TRUE)
add_library(test test.cpp)
set_property(TARGET test PROPERTY CXX_STANDARD 11)
set_target_properties(test PROPERTIES LINK_SEARCH_START_STATIC 1)
set_target_properties(test PROPERTIES LINK_SEARCH_END_STATIC 1)
set(CMAKE_FIND_LIBRARY_SUFFIXES ".a")
set(CMAKE_EXE_LINKER_FLAGS "-static-libgcc -static-libstdc++")
find_package(Threads REQUIRED)
target_link_libraries(test Threads::Threads)
Does it help?

Disable -Werror for one of CMakeLists.txt

I have the following CMake file:
project(MyLib)
cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)
if(NOT CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE)
set(CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE "release")
endif()
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -std=c++11 -Wall -Werror")
set(ROOT_DIR ${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR})
set(CMAKE_LIBRARY_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${ROOT_DIR}/bin/${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE})
set(CMAKE_RUNTIME_OUTPUT_DIRECTORY ${ROOT_DIR}/bin/${CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE})
set(MAIN_LIBRARY_NAME "mylib")
add_subdirectory(src)
add_subdirectory(test_app)
add_subdirectory(test_app1) <--- I want to disable -Werror flag for CMakeLists.txt in this folder.
add_subdirectory(test_app2)
How to disable -Werror flag for one of subdirectories? In the each of sub directories I have CMakeLists.txt too.
Turning my comment into an answer
All variables and directory properties are copied to the subdirectory's context at the moment you call add_subdirectory(). Either modify CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS before this call with something like
string(REPLACE " -Werror" "" CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS}")
add_subdirectory(test_app1)
set(CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS "${CMAKE_CXX_FLAGS} -Werror")
Or use the "old way" were compiler flags could be given with add_definitions() and removed with remove_definitions()
add_definitions(-std=c++11 -Wall -Werror)
...
remove_definitions(-Werror)
add_subdirectory(test_app1)
add_definitions(-Werror)
But you can - in contradiction to my first comment - change flags added add_compile_options() only on target level COMPILE_OPTIONS property and not for complete directories. When the target is created the property is copied as-is from the directory to the target and changing the directory property later won't automatically update the target's property.
If you have a newer CMake version that supports SOURCE_DIR target property you can alternatively go by some crazy generator expression:
add_compile_options(
-std=c++11
-Wall
$<$<NOT:$<STREQUAL:$<TARGET_PROPERTY:SOURCE_DIR>,${CMAKE_SOURCE_DIR}/test_app1>>:-Werror>
)
Reference
Is Cmake set variable recursive?
If you are using CMake v3.24's new CMAKE_COMPILE_WARNING_AS_ERROR variable, which initializes the corresponding target property, you can simply set the variable to FALSE in the CMakeLists.txt file of any subdirectories where you won't want warnings to be errors.
There are two nice things about using this variable:
Cross-platform with less boilerplate: No more explicitly written generator expressions to use the right flag for each compiler.
Allows user-override: Not all users will want to build with warnings as errors. This new feature comes with a --compile-no-warning-as-error command-line flag that users can use to disable any effects of this variable/target-property when set by a dev in a CMakeLists.txt file.
we have a project setup which configured Werror and Wall at the top level as compiler flags. What I ended up doing for a temporary test program which I wanted to skip Werror was:
add_executable(test_program ...)
target_compile_options(test_program PRIVATE -Wno-error)
that ended up generating a compile line like:
g++ ... -Wall -Werror -Wno-error test.cpp -o test
where the -Wno-error cancels out the -Werror, without affecting the CXXFLAGS for the rest of the project.
