1410959 - Compiler warning parser doesn't work with GCC 7

Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Firefox Build System :: General, enhancement)

Description

[Gregory Szorc [:gps]]

I upgraded to GCC 7.2 and the compiler warning parser in the Firefox build system didn't parse out any compiler warnings from build system output. I suspect GCC changed the warnings format and we'll need to detect the new format.

I don't see this happening with 7.4.0 on treeherder when testing GCC patches, and none of the bugs fixed for GCC 7.3 and 7.4 indicate that diagnostic formats were broken in any way. I am going to tentatively call this WORKSFORME, and if we get reports of breakage with diagnostic test cases, we can investigate those.
