[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 04/18] build-sys: compile with -Og or -O1 when --enable-debug

[Marc-André Lureau]

When --enable-debug is turned on, configure doesn't set -O level, and
uses default compiler -O0 level, which is slow.

Instead, use -Og if supported by the compiler (optimize debugging
experience), or -O1 (keeps code somewhat debuggable and works around
compiler bugs).

Unfortunately, gcc has many false-positive maybe-uninitialized
errors with Og and O1 (f27 gcc 7.2.1 20170915):

There seems to be a long list of related bugs in upstream GCC, some of
them are being fixed very recently:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=24639

For now, let's workaround it by using Wno-maybe-uninitialized (gcc-only).
