When enabling --warnlevel=3 during Meson setup, the build threw up
several warnings, mostly related to either unused parameters, or
sometimes an integer type mismatch. This commit addresses all of those
changes and ensures that the build does not contain any unnecessary
warnings.
Meson is a far more robust build framework, compared to autotools. This
greatly simplifies adding new features, since it's far easier to
maintain a set of meson.build files vs the autotools mishmash.
DEPRECATION NOTICE: Autotools based build is deprecated and will be
removed in the future.
In macos-14, programs that rely on cmocka need to specify CMOCKA_CFLAGS
as part of their CFLAGS. This has not been an issue so far on older
versions of macOS, or on any release of Ubuntu, but it should be done to
ensure that the library headers can be found.
When building the package for PPA, gcc throws errors indicating that
some variables may be used uninitialized. This is not a real problem
that shows up during the CI build, but only when building using
dpkg-buildpackage.
This change adds some dummy initialization so that it avoids triggering
those warnings during debuild/dpkg-buildpackage.
