When building with clang 16, we get:
CXX gdb.o

/home/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/../gdbsupport/enum-flags.h:95:52: error: integer value -1 is outside the valid range of values [0, 15] for this enumeration type [-Wenum-constexpr-conversion]
integer_for_size<sizeof (T), static_cast<bool>(T (-1) < T (0))>::type
^
The error message does not make it clear in the context of which enum
flag this fails (i.e. what is T in this context), but it doesn't really
matter, we have similar warning/errors for many of them, if we let the
build go through.
clang is right that the value -1 is invalid for the enum type we cast -1
to. However, we do need this expression in order to select an integer
type with the appropriate signedness. That is, with the same signedness
as the underlying type of the enum.
I first wondered if that was really needed, if we couldn't use
std::underlying_type for that. It turns out that the comment just above
says:
/* Note that std::underlying_type<enum_type> is not what we want here,
since that returns unsigned int even when the enum decays to signed
int. */
I was surprised, because std::is_signed<std::underlying_type<enum_type>>
returns the right thing. So I tried replacing all this with
std::underlying_type, see if that would work. Doing so causes some
build failures in unittests/enum-flags-selftests.c:

This is a bit hard to decode, but basically enumerations have the
following funny property that they decay into a signed int, even if
their implicit underlying type is unsigned. This code:
enum A {};
enum B {};
int main() {
std::cout << std::is_signed<std::underlying_type<A>::type>::value
<< std::endl;
std::cout << std::is_signed<std::underlying_type<B>::type>::value
<< std::endl;
auto result = true ? A() : B();
std::cout << std::is_signed<decltype(result)>::value << std::endl;
}
produces:
0
0
1
So, the "CHECK_VALID" above checks that this property works for enum flags the
same way as it would if you were using their underlying enum types. And
somehow, changing integer_for_size to use std::underlying_type breaks that.
Since the current code does what we want, and I don't see any way of doing it
differently, ignore -Wenum-constexpr-conversion around it.

README for GNU development tools This directory contains various GNU compilers, assemblers, linkers, debuggers, etc., plus their support routines, definitions, and documentation. If you are receiving this as part of a GDB release, see the file gdb/README. If with a binutils release, see binutils/README; if with a libg++ release, see libg++/README, etc. That'll give you info about this package -- supported targets, how to use it, how to report bugs, etc. It is now possible to automatically configure and build a variety of tools with one command. To build all of the tools contained herein, run the ``configure'' script here, e.g.: ./configure make To install them (by default in /usr/local/bin, /usr/local/lib, etc), then do: make install (If the configure script can't determine your type of computer, give it the name as an argument, for instance ``./configure sun4''. You can use the script ``config.sub'' to test whether a name is recognized; if it is, config.sub translates it to a triplet specifying CPU, vendor, and OS.) If you have more than one compiler on your system, it is often best to explicitly set CC in the environment before running configure, and to also set CC when running make. For example (assuming sh/bash/ksh): CC=gcc ./configure make A similar example using csh: setenv CC gcc ./configure make Much of the code and documentation enclosed is copyright by the Free Software Foundation, Inc. See the file COPYING or COPYING.LIB in the various directories, for a description of the GNU General Public License terms under which you can copy the files. REPORTING BUGS: Again, see gdb/README, binutils/README, etc., for info on where and how to report problems.
