From de447bb8e6fbbad19f964a2d7f04c9ccc1d06903 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Tom Lane Date: Thu, 17 Feb 2022 22:45:34 -0500 Subject: Suppress warning about stack_base_ptr with late-model GCC. GCC 12 complains that set_stack_base is storing the address of a local variable in a long-lived pointer. This is an entirely reasonable warning (indeed, it just helped us find a bug); but that behavior is intentional here. We can work around it by using __builtin_frame_address(0) instead of a specific local variable; that produces an address a dozen or so bytes different, in my testing, but we don't care about such a small difference. Maybe someday a compiler lacking that function will start to issue a similar warning, but we'll worry about that when it happens. Patch by me, per a suggestion from Andres Freund. Back-patch to v12, which is as far back as the patch will go without some pain. (Recently-established project policy would permit a back-patch as far as 9.2, but I'm disinclined to expend the work until GCC 12 is much more widespread.)
