[v3] c-family: Enable -fpermissive for C and ObjC
Checks
Commit Message
Future changes will treat some C front end warnings similar to
-Wnarrowing.
gcc/
* doc/invoke.texi (Warning Options): Mention C diagnostics
for -fpermissive.
gcc/c-family/
* c.opt (fpermissive): Enable for C and ObjC.
* c-opts.cc (c_common_post_options): Enable -fpermissive.
(snip)
Joseph, would you be able to review this?
There are no new tests because there are no permerrors yet.
Thanks,
Florian
