Merge bitcoin#18088: build: ensure we aren't using GNU extensions
0ae8f18 build: add -Wgnu to compile flags (fanquake) 3a0fd77 Remove use of non-standard zero variadic macros (Ben Woosley) 49f6178 Drop unused LOG_TIME_MICROS helper (Ben Woosley) 5d49999 prevector: Avoid unnamed struct, which is a GNU extension (DesWurstes) Pull request description: Since we [started using](bitcoin#7165) the `ax_cxx_compile_stdcxx.m4` macro we've been passing `[noext]` to indicate that we don't want to use an extended mode, i.e GNU extensions. Speaking to Cory he clarified that the intention was to "require only vanilla c++11 and turn _off_ extension support so they would fail to compile". However in the codebase we are currently making use of some GNU extensions. We should either remove there usage, or at least amend our CXX compiler checks. I'd prefer the former. #### anonymous structs ```bash ./prevector.h:153:9: warning: anonymous structs are a GNU extension [-Wgnu-anonymous-struct] struct { ``` This is fixed in bitcoin@b849212. #### variadic macros ```bash ./undo.h:57:50: warning: must specify at least one argument for '...' parameter of variadic macro [-Wgnu-zero-variadic-macro-arguments] ::Unserialize(s, VARINT(nVersionDummy)); ``` This is taken care of in bitcoin#18087. The `LOG_TIME_*` macros introduced in bitcoin#16805 make use of a [GNU extension](https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/cpp/Variadic-Macros.html). ```bash In file included from validation.cpp:22: ./logging/timer.h:99:99: warning: token pasting of ',' and __VA_ARGS__ is a GNU extension [-Wgnu-zero-variadic-macro-arguments] BCLog::Timer<std::chrono::milliseconds> PASTE2(logging_timer, __COUNTER__)(__func__, end_msg, ## __VA_ARGS__) ^ ./logging/timer.h:99:99: warning: token pasting of ',' and __VA_ARGS__ is a GNU extension [-Wgnu-zero-variadic-macro-arguments] ./logging/timer.h:99:99: warning: token pasting of ',' and __VA_ARGS__ is a GNU extension [-Wgnu-zero-variadic-macro-arguments] ./logging/timer.h:99:99: warning: token pasting of ',' and __VA_ARGS__ is a GNU extension [-Wgnu-zero-variadic-macro-arguments] ./logging/timer.h:99:99: warning: token pasting of ',' and __VA_ARGS__ is a GNU extension [-Wgnu-zero-variadic-macro-arguments] ./logging/timer.h:101:92: warning: token pasting of ',' and __VA_ARGS__ is a GNU extension [-Wgnu-zero-variadic-macro-arguments] BCLog::Timer<std::chrono::seconds> PASTE2(logging_timer, __COUNTER__)(__func__, end_msg, ## __VA_ARGS__) ^ 6 warnings generated. ``` This is fixed in 081a0ab and 612e8e1. #### prevention To ensure that usage doesn't creep back in we can add [`-Wgnu`](https://clang.llvm.org/docs/DiagnosticsReference.html#wgnu) to our compile time flags, which will make Clang warn whenever it encounters GNU extensions. This would close bitcoin#14130. Also related to bitcoin#17230, where it's suggested we use a GNU extension, the `gnu::pure` attribute.
