As of e4650c81, we do w32 builds with -Werror enabled. Unfortunately
for cases where we enable VSS support in qemu-ga, we still have
warnings generated by VSS includes that ship as part of the Microsoft
VSS SDK.
We can selectively address a number of these warnings using
#pragma GCC diagnostic ignored ...
but at least one of these:
warning: ‘typedef’ was ignored in this declaration
resulting from declarations of the form:
typedef struct Blah { ... };
does not provide a specific command-line/pragma option to disable
warnings of the sort.
To allow VSS builds to succeed, the next-best option is disabling
these warnings on a per-file basis. pragmas like #pragma GCC
system_header can be used to declare subsequent includes/declarations
as being exempt from normal warnings, but this must be done within
a header file.
Since we don't control the VSS SDK, we'd need to rely on a
intermediate header include to accomplish this, and
since different objects in the VSS link target rely on different
headers from the VSS SDK, this would become somewhat of a rat's nest
(though not totally unmanageable).
The next step up in granularity is just marking the entire VSS
SDK include path as system headers via -isystem. This is a bit more
heavy-handed, but since this SDK hasn't changed since 2005, there's
likely little to be gained from selectively disabling warnings
anyway, so we implement that approach here.
This fixes the -Werror failures in both the configure test and the
qga build due to shared reliance on $vss_win32_include. For the
same reason, this also enforces a new dependency on -isystem support
in the C/C++ compiler when building QGA with VSS enabled.

QEMU README
===========
QEMU is a generic and open source machine & userspace emulator and
virtualizer.
QEMU is capable of emulating a complete machine in software without any
need for hardware virtualization support. By using dynamic translation,
it achieves very good performance. QEMU can also integrate with the Xen
and KVM hypervisors to provide emulated hardware while allowing the
hypervisor to manage the CPU. With hypervisor support, QEMU can achieve
near native performance for CPUs. When QEMU emulates CPUs directly it is
capable of running operating systems made for one machine (e.g. an ARMv7
board) on a different machine (e.g. an x86_64 PC board).
QEMU is also capable of providing userspace API virtualization for Linux
and BSD kernel interfaces. This allows binaries compiled against one
architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux PPC64 ABI) to be run on a host using a
different architecture ABI (e.g. the Linux x86_64 ABI). This does not
involve any hardware emulation, simply CPU and syscall emulation.
QEMU aims to fit into a variety of use cases. It can be invoked directly
by users wishing to have full control over its behaviour and settings.
It also aims to facilitate integration into higher level management
layers, by providing a stable command line interface and monitor API.
It is commonly invoked indirectly via the libvirt library when using
open source applications such as oVirt, OpenStack and virt-manager.
QEMU as a whole is released under the GNU General Public License,
version 2. For full licensing details, consult the LICENSE file.
Building
========
QEMU is multi-platform software intended to be buildable on all modern
Linux platforms, OS-X, Win32 (via the Mingw64 toolchain) and a variety
of other UNIX targets. The simple steps to build QEMU are:
mkdir build
cd build
../configure
make
Complete details of the process for building and configuring QEMU for
all supported host platforms can be found in the qemu-tech.html file.
Additional information can also be found online via the QEMU website:

Submitting patches
==================
The QEMU source code is maintained under the GIT version control system.
git clone git://git.qemu-project.org/qemu.git
When submitting patches, the preferred approach is to use 'git
format-patch' and/or 'git send-email' to format & send the mail to the
qemu-devel@nongnu.org mailing list. All patches submitted must contain
a 'Signed-off-by' line from the author. Patches should follow the
guidelines set out in the HACKING and CODING_STYLE files.
Additional information on submitting patches can be found online via
the QEMU website
http://qemu-project.org/Contribute/SubmitAPatch
http://qemu-project.org/Contribute/TrivialPatches
Bug reporting
=============
The QEMU project uses Launchpad as its primary upstream bug tracker. Bugs
found when running code built from QEMU git or upstream released sources
should be reported via:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/
If using QEMU via an operating system vendor pre-built binary package, it
is preferable to report bugs to the vendor's own bug tracker first. If
the bug is also known to affect latest upstream code, it can also be
reported via launchpad.
For additional information on bug reporting consult:
http://qemu-project.org/Contribute/ReportABug
Contact
=======
The QEMU community can be contacted in a number of ways, with the two
main methods being email and IRC
- qemu-devel@nongnu.org
http://lists.nongnu.org/mailman/listinfo/qemu-devel
- #qemu on irc.oftc.net
