Subject: [PATCH 00/13] Fix various warnings when building on macOS
Date: Mon, 17 Aug 2026 11:16:05 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260817151646.152571-1-simon.marchi@efficios.com> (raw)

I tried a build on macOS with the following configure flags (there is no
native configuration for macOS/AArch64, so I used an alternative target
to at least build the generic parts of GDB):

  --enable-targets=all --target=x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

This series fixes most of the build errors I encountered, mostly about
the uses of "dangerous" functions like sprintf.

There one patch in opcodes, which will require the approval from a
binutils maintainer.

There are 3 patches in sim, which will require the apprival from a sim
maintainer.

The rest is in GDB, and I would of course appreciate some reviews for
those too.

There are still some warnings about vfork being deprecated, like:

      CXX    cli/cli-cmds.o
    /Users/smarchi/src/binutils-gdb/gdb/cli/cli-cmds.c:917:9: error: 'vfork' is deprecated: Use posix_spawn or fork [-Werror,-Wdeprecated-declarations]
      917 |   pid = vfork ();
          |         ^

I have not fixed those, as it requires more thought about the
consequences of changing this on all supported platforms.
