From d9e69f7224f620c3bb7cca9f7919556e9647e189 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Alexander Turenko <alexander.turenko@tarantool.org> Date: Sat, 11 Apr 2020 00:01:40 +0300 Subject: [PATCH] popen: fix 'may be clobbered' compiler warning I guess a compiler assumes that the code inside vfork may use the stack slot that corresponds the variable and so clobber it. The recent commit 07a07b3cc7b85375d20b3fc6ca1e5060304f337b ('popen: decouple logger fd from stderr') adds read from this variable after vfork() in the parent process. The warning is produced on RelWithDebInfo build with LTO enabled on GCC 9.2.0 (locally) and on GCC 8.3.0 (in CI).
