-Subject: [PATCH] configure: use appropriate code fragment for
- -fstack-protector checks
-Cc: qemu-trivial@nongnu.org
-
-The check for stack-protector support consisted in compiling and linking
-the test program below (output by function write_c_skeleton()) with the
-compiler flag -fstack-protector-strong first and then with
--fstack-protector-all if the first one failed to work:
-
-  int main(void) { return 0; }
-
-This caused false positives when using certain toolchains in which the
-compiler accepts -fstack-protector-strong but no support is provided by
-the C library, since in this stack-protector variant the compiler emits
-canary code only for functions that meet specific conditions (local
-arrays, memory references to local variables, etc.) and the code
-fragment under test included none of them (hence no stack protection
-code generated, no link failure).
-
-This fix modifies the test program used for -fstack-protector checks to
-meet conditions which cause the compiler to generate canary code in all
-variants.
