When compiling
gnutls
we saw the configure script use the preprocessor to determine flags to pass to the compiler. It did this by preprocessing a list of prospective args to$CC
, and using the preprocessor to determine which of those were valid. It takes the output from the preprocessor --- a list of "valid" flags to$CC
--- and supplies that to future calls to$CC
.Because
allocscc
injects liballocs-related machinery into the code it compiles, the output ofallocscc
's preprocessor contains liballocs-related C code. However,gnutls
uses the preprocessor on something that isn't really C code! When the list of arguments was passed to later calls to$CC
, the C code injected byallocscc
would gum up the works.#118 tracks this.
This PR disables any liballocs-related work if we see
-E
in allocscc's arguments.
