When compiled with a standard clang, pmdinfogen can raise a warning:
buildtools/pmdinfogen/pmdinfogen.c:365:1: warning:
control reaches end of non-void function
Actually there can be more warnings with stricter compilers.
In order to catch them early and fix most of them, the DPDK standard flags
WERROR_FLAGS are used.
The warnings fixed are:
no previous prototype for ...
no return statement in function returning non-void
variable ‘secstrings’ set but not used
‘sec_name’ defined but not used
‘get_symbol_index’ defined but not used
pointer of type ‘void *’ used in arithmetic

pmdinfogen is a tool used to parse object files and build json strings for
use in later determining hardware support in a dso or application binary.
pmdinfo looks for the non-exported symbol names this_pmd_name<n> and
this_pmd_tbl<n> (where n is a integer counter). It records the name of
each of these tuples, using the later to find the symbolic name of the
pci_table for physical devices that the object supports. With this
information, it outputs a C file with a single line of the form:
static char *<pmd_name>_driver_info[] __attribute__((used)) = " \
PMD_DRIVER_INFO=<json string>";
Where <pmd_name> is the arbitrary name of the pmd, and <json_string> is the
json encoded string that hold relevant pmd information, including the pmd
name, type and optional array of pci device/vendor ids that the driver
supports.
This c file is suitable for compiling to object code, then relocatably
linking into the parent file from which the C was generated. This creates
an entry in the string table of the object that can inform a later tool
about hardware support.
