build: carry -Werror=switch in build.sh and the sanitizer/valgrind legs - #786

Conversation
InauguralSystems#779 made -Werror=switch a hard CI error via make http|gfx|zlib|lsp|full (the $(CFLAGS) legs), but the legs contributors run locally use hand-written flag lists that omit it, so a non-exhaustive ASTType switch only warned there: - build.sh (minimal, full, lsp compile lines) - make asan, make asan-http, make tsan, make valgrind Add -Werror=switch to those lists so the gate bites locally too. No other warning flag changed; no -Werror generally. All legs still build clean (gcc + clang), and the suite passes 3275/3275 on the armed minimal build, so no switch on these paths is non-exhaustive. Co-Authored-By: Kimi K3 <noreply@kimi.com>

This is the follow-up agreed in #779, and it does exactly what it says: -Werror=switch added to the seven flag lists a contributor actually hits locally (build.sh ×3, asan, asan-http, tsan, valgrind) and nothing else. I diffed each hunk against the Makefile/build.sh on main — flag placement follows CFLAGS ordering, no other flag touched, no factoring detour.
Points in your favor:
- Correcting my line numbers. You're right that #779's note pointed at target-name lines and undercounted
build.sh's flag lists — three, not one. Good catch rather than silently following a wrong map. - Building every leg both compilers rather than asserting from the diff that nothing could break. "Zero switch diagnostics" is the load-bearing claim of this PR and you proved it per-leg instead of inferring it.
- The valgrind caveat, stated plainly. Correct call not to install system packages. CI settles it: the
valgrind (memcheck)leg ran on this PR and passed, so the one gap in your local sweep is now closed with evidence.
On the follow-ups:
- The six remaining lists (jit-smoke, poison, coverage, fuzz ×2, freestanding) — yes, send the second pass. Same shape as this one is fine. The fuzz harnesses in particular compile subsets of
$(SOURCES), so they're the most likely place a non-exhaustive switch could hide unchecked. - The pre-existing warnings you noted (
lint.c-Wcomment/-Wformat-truncation,step.cunused-but-set under clang) — worth an issue so they don't get lost; they're real even if harmless today.
CHANGELOG n/a is the right call — contributor-facing build detail, matches this repo's convention.
CI: all 16 checks green. Merging.

What does this PR do?
The follow-up you okayed on #779:
./build.shand theasan|asan-http|tsan|valgrindlegs now carry-Werror=switch, so the gate bites on the builds a contributor actually runs locally rather than only in CI viamake http|gfx|zlib|lsp|full.The line numbers in #779's note had drifted, and there were more lists than it said.
Makefile:184/206/219/233are the target-name lines; the recipes are one line lower in two cases. Andbuild.shhas three flag lists, not one. Actual edits:Makefile:185-fsanitize=address,undefinedMakefile:206-fsanitize=address,undefinedMakefile:220-fsanitize=threadMakefile:234-g -O1build.sh:45·:55·:67-Werror=implicit-function-declarationFlag ordering follows
Makefile:9'sCFLAGS. No shared variable was factored out — the only shared list is$(CFLAGS)and these seven deliberately don't use it, so leaving them alone keeps the diff to the flag itself. No other warning flag touched.Checklist
make testpasses locally —RESULTS: 3275/3275 passed, 0 faileddocs/BUILTINS.md— n/a, build-flag changedocs/STDLIB.md— n/aThe evidence that matters is that every leg still compiles with the gate armed, since that is the whole risk of the change:
CC=gcc ./build.sh→EigenScript 0.34.0 built. Binary: 764K;CC=clang ./build.sh→788Kmake asan→(asan+ubsan) built·make asan-http→(asan+ubsan, http+model) built·make tsan→(tsan) builtmake http→880K,make gfx→808K,make zlib→772K,make lsp→924K,make full→880KOne leg I could not verify locally, stated plainly:
make valgrinddoes not build on this box —src/eigenscript.c:29:10: fatal error: valgrind/memcheck.h: No such file or directory, because valgrind is not installed and I did not install system packages. That is a missing toolchain, not a switch failure: compilation dies at preprocessing before any switch is seen. Yourci.yml:455-457installs valgrind, so that leg gets exercised there. The-DEIGS_VALGRINDcode behind it is memcheck macro calls rather than switch logic, so I would be surprised if it bites — but I have not proven that and am not claiming it.Follow-ups / Known Limitations
Six more hand-written flag lists still omit
-Werror=switch:Makefile:148(jit-smoke),:251(poison),:301(coverage),:322/:339(the fuzz harnesses),:364(freestanding). They are outside what you approved, so I left them — happy to send them as a second pass if you want the whole perimeter.Unrelated pre-existing warnings noticed while building, not introduced here and not failing anything:
