ESP32 Compilation Warnings

A little tip to make life easier.
The output from the esp32 compiler is a 'little' verbose. It is possible to turn off some of the warnings.
In your project directory/main
Edit CMakeLists.txt
At the end of the file add:
Code: Select all
target_compile_options(${COMPONENT_LIB} PRIVATE -Wno-unused-variable)
target_compile_options(${COMPONENT_LIB} PRIVATE -Wno-unused-function)
target_compile_options(${COMPONENT_LIB} PRIVATE -Wno-int-conversion)
This will turn off unused variable and function warnings as well as conversion between integer types. Obviously you should aim to tidy up the code that gives these messages - but it makes spotting the error 'needle' easier in the early project haystack...

Other warnings can be disabled using similar syntax....

Thanks Martin,
Just getting round to this and I've updated the default file so that the following applies when compiling a new project.
Code: Select all
target_compile_options(${COMPONENT_LIB} PRIVATE -Wno-cpp)
target_compile_options(${COMPONENT_LIB} PRIVATE -Wno-unused-function)
target_compile_options(${COMPONENT_LIB} PRIVATE -Wno-unused-variable)
target_compile_options(${COMPONENT_LIB} PRIVATE -Wno-unused-but-set-variable)
target_compile_options(${COMPONENT_LIB} PRIVATE -Wno-incompatible-pointer-types)
target_compile_options(${COMPONENT_LIB} PRIVATE -Wno-discarded-qualifiers)
target_compile_options(${COMPONENT_LIB} PRIVATE -Wno-int-conversion)
I've also popped this line in there should you want to disable to treat certain warnings as errors, e.g. return variable not set or variable not initialised etc.
Code: Select all
#You can disable all warnings as errors by uncommenting the line below.
#target_compile_options(${COMPONENT_LIB} PRIVATE -Wno-error)
Annoyingly I'd only seen your post once I'd found out and applied the info myself! doh!

Thanks Ben,
It makes for a much nicer working environment - I mentioned it again in the notes about lvgl - where there are reams of warnings...

I've got a copy of LVGL compiling now too so looking forward to having a play with it and seeing what we can do with it going forward.

It's good isn't it
Especially with EEZ (or SquareLine) Studio
