Issue being fixed or feature implemented

Default build produces hundreds of warnings. These warnings are disabled for --enable-werror, but they all are show for regular builds.

In file included from ./hash.h:16,
             from ./bls/bls.h:8,
             from ./evo/dmnstate.h:8,
             from ./evo/deterministicmns.h:8,
             from evo/deterministicmns.cpp:5:
In member function ‘constexpr int base_blob<BITS>::Compare(const base_blob<BITS>&) const [with unsigned int BITS = 256]’,
    inlined from ‘constexpr bool operator!=(const base_blob<256>&, const base_blob<256>&)’ at ./uint256.h:58:96,
    inlined from ‘bool CheckProUpServTx(CDeterministicMNManager&, const CTransaction&, gsl::not_null<const CBlockIndex*>, TxValidationState&, bool)’ at evo/deterministicmns.cpp:1158:101:
./uint256.h:55:77: warning: ‘int __builtin_memcmp_eq(const void*, const void*, long unsigned int)’ specified bound 32 exceeds source size 0 [-Wstringop-overread]
   55 |     constexpr int Compare(const base_blob& other) const { return std::memcmp(m_data.data(), other.m_data.data(), WIDTH); }

What was done?

Hide useless warnings for default build too. They have no use.

How Has This Been Tested?

Configure with --enable-werror and without it:

./configure --prefix=$(pwd)/depends/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu  --enable-werror  --enable-debug  --enable-stacktraces  --enable-crash-hooks --enable-maintainer-mode
./configure --prefix=$(pwd)/depends/x86_64-pc-linux-gnu

Works fine now!

Walkthrough

The patch reorganizes the suppression of specific GCC warning flags in the configure.ac script. It moves the suppression of -Warray-bounds, -Wstringop-overread, and -Wstringop-overflow flags from inside the conditional block that tests if enable_werror is "yes" to outside that block, making these suppressions unconditional. The logic and conditions for checking support for these flags and appending the corresponding -Wno-* suppressions to NOWARN_CXXFLAGS remain unchanged. Comments explaining the suppressions are preserved. No other changes to control flow or error handling are made.

454-462: -Warray-bounds now fully suppressed, but flag string still appended when already present.

Moving this block outside the enable_werror guard meets the PR goal (silencing the warning for non--Werror builds) and switches to -Wno-array-bounds, which is correct.

Minor nit: if NOWARN_CXXFLAGS already contains the same token (e.g. from a previous configure run with cache), you end up with duplicates. Harmless, but you can avoid it:

-  NOWARN_CXXFLAGS="$NOWARN_CXXFLAGS -Wno-array-bounds"
+  case " $NOWARN_CXXFLAGS " in
+    *" -Wno-array-bounds "*) ;;
+    *) NOWARN_CXXFLAGS="$NOWARN_CXXFLAGS -Wno-array-bounds" ;;

configure.ac (4)

446-453: Missing‐fi fix removes build-breaking syntax error — good catch.

The added fi properly terminates the if test "$enable_werror" = "yes" block and eliminates the Autoconf parse error that slipped through earlier.
No further action needed.


463-468: -Wdangling-reference still only demoted, not suppressed. Intentional?

Unlike the neighbouring changes, this block keeps -Wno-error=dangling-reference, which still prints the warnings for default builds (they’re just not fatal).
If the objective is “hide the warning”, switch to -Wno-dangling-reference for consistency.


470-478: Inconsistent pattern with -Wattributes.

Same observation as above: you demote to non-error but do not silence. Confirm whether the remaining noise is acceptable; if not, use -Wno-attributes.


490-502: Good: problematic -Wstringop-* warnings now fully masked for all builds.

Switching to -Wno-stringop-overread/overflow outside the enable_werror block cleanly removes the spam while still testing compiler support through AX_CHECK_COMPILE_FLAG.

No issues spotted.

🛠️ Refactor suggestion

-Wcpp treatment differs from newly added flags.

-Wno-error=cpp leaves the warning visible in normal builds. Re-evaluate if you meant to suppress it entirely as done for -Wstringop-*.

🤖 Prompt for AI Agents
In configure.ac around lines 480 to 488, the -Wcpp flag is currently set with
-Wno-error=cpp, which suppresses treating it as an error but still shows the
warning. To align with the treatment of other flags like -Wstringop-*, change
this to fully suppress the warning by using -Wno-cpp instead of -Wno-error=cpp.
Update the NOWARN_CXXFLAGS assignment accordingly to completely silence the
-Wcpp warning in normal builds.

It's not just rebase, but extra changes.

We discussed changes on a call that knst said he wanted to implement

As discussed with pasta, -Wno-error=attributes and -Wno-error=cpp should not be included in tthis PR; because they don't hide warning, but only make it "no error". So. patch is changed.
