refactor: Fix unreachable code in init arg checks #19131

jonathanschoeller · 2020-06-01T08:25:41Z

Closes: #19017

In #19015 it's been suggested that we add some new compiler warnings to our build. Some of these, such as -Wunreachable-code-loop-increment, generate warnings. We'll likely want to fix these up if we're going to turn these warnings on.

init.cpp:969:5: warning: loop will run at most once (loop increment never executed) [-Wunreachable-code-loop-increment]
     for (const auto& arg : gArgs.GetUnsuitableSectionOnlyArgs()) {
     ^~~
 1 warning generated.

bitcoin/src/init.cpp

Lines 968 to 972 in aa8d768

    
           // on the command line or in this network's section of the config file. 
        
           std::string network = gArgs.GetChainName(); 
        
           for (const auto& arg : gArgs.GetUnsuitableSectionOnlyArgs()) { 
        
               return InitError(strprintf(_("Config setting for %s only applied on %s network when in [%s] section."), arg, network, network)); 
        
           }

To fix this, collect all errors, and output them in a single error message after the loop completes. This resolves the unreachable code warning, and avoids popup hell that could result from outputting a seperate message for each error or warning one by one.

Concept ACK: thanks for fixing this and thereby allowing us to catch more severe issues using -Wunreachable-code-loop-increment going forward!

Great first time contribution and great rationale section in the PR description.

Warm welcome as a contributor @jonathanschoeller! :)

Nice. ACK with or without the nit addressed

Oh, it looks like you might have to adjust the tests for the longer error messages.

hebasto · 2020-06-01T10:44:52Z

Concept ACK.

src/init.cpp

    for (const auto& section : gArgs.GetUnrecognizedSections()) {
-        InitWarning(strprintf(Untranslated("%s:%i ") + _("Section [%s] is not recognized."), section.m_file, section.m_line, section.m_name));
+        warnings += strprintf(Untranslated("%s:%i ") + _("Section [%s] is not recognized.\n"), section.m_file, section.m_line, section.m_name);


please don't change the translation string _("Section [%s] is not recognized.") and keep the special character \n untranslated (like above)

Slow typing from my side :)

Suggested change

warnings += strprintf(Untranslated("%s:%i ") + _("Section [%s] is not recognized.\n"), section.m_file, section.m_line, section.m_name);

warnings += strprintf(Untranslated("%s:%i ") + _("Section [%s] is not recognized.") + Untranslated("\n"), section.m_file, section.m_line, section.m_name);

Building with -Wunreachable-code-loop-increment causes a warning due to always returning on the first iteration of the loop that outputs errors on invalid args. Collect all errors, and output them in a single error message after the loop completes, resolving the warning and avoiding popup hell by outputting a seperate message for each error.
