perf tools: Fix python extension build for gcc 8
commit b7a313d84e853049062011d78cb04b6decd12f5c upstream.
The gcc 8 compiler won't compile the python extension code with the
following errors (one example):
python.c:830:15: error: cast between incompatible function types from \
‘PyObject * (*)(struct pyrf_evsel *, PyObject *, PyObject *)’ \
uct _object * (*)(struct pyrf_evsel *, struct _object *, struct _object *)’} to \
‘PyObject * (*)(PyObject *, PyObject *)’ {aka ‘struct _object * (*)(struct _objeuct \
_object *)’} [-Werror=cast-function-type]
.ml_meth = (PyCFunction)pyrf_evsel__open,
The problem with the PyMethodDef::ml_meth callback is that its type is
determined based on the PyMethodDef::ml_flags value, which we set as
METH_VARARGS | METH_KEYWORDS.
That indicates that the callback is expecting an extra PyObject* arg, and is
actually PyCFunctionWithKeywords type, but the base PyMethodDef::ml_meth type
stays PyCFunction.
Previous gccs did not find this, gcc8 now does. Fixing this by silencing this
warning for python.c build.
Commiter notes:
Do not do that for CC=clang, as it breaks the build in some clang
versions, like the ones in fedora up to fedora27:
fedora:25:error: unknown warning option '-Wno-cast-function-type'; did you mean '-Wno-bad-function-cast'? [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
fedora:26:error: unknown warning option '-Wno-cast-function-type'; did you mean '-Wno-bad-function-cast'? [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
fedora:27:error: unknown warning option '-Wno-cast-function-type'; did you mean '-Wno-bad-function-cast'? [-Werror,-Wunknown-warning-option]
#
those have:
clang version 3.9.1 (tags/RELEASE_391/final)
The one in rawhide accepts that:
clang version 6.0.0 (tags/RELEASE_600/final)
