So I’ve just done a bit of triage on my vtk cdash submissions and there are lots of new errors & warnings there that should be fixed. It would take me most of a day to `git blame` every one of them and contact the person that introduced the issue. Nonetheless, I did this for errors (but not warnings).

I have 2 more concrete suggestions for improving this situation:

1. Increase the warning settings that the gitlab buildbots use. For macOS, I have very fine grained warning settings that I can share. I guess with @ben.boeckel ? If you tell me the Xcode versions of your bots, I can give you corresponding warning flags.

2. Figure out why 3rd party lib warnings appear on cdash. I thought there was already a mechanism to remove such warnings, yet I see hdf5 warnings here for example:

I’d like to see additional warning flags gated behind a CMake option so that developers can easily enable them as well. CI can then just flip that flag in `.gitlab/ci/configure_common.cmake`. See `CMake/vtkSanitize.cmake` and `CMake/vtkSanitizeFlags.cmake` (separated so that some of the setup logic is not affected).

Are you doing `ctest_read_custom_files("${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY}")` in your CTest script? These suppressions come from `CMake/CTestCustom.cmake.in` which is configured into the build tree.

I see `ctest_read_custom_files(${CTEST_BINARY_DIRECTORY})` in `vtk_common.cmake`, which I include. Maybe you could take a look here:

[https://open.cdash.org/build/7383072/notes#note0](https://open.cdash.org/build/7383072/notes#note0)

to see if I’ve done anything weird…

I don’t see anything odd there. Maybe try using `--trace-expand` to trace the execution and make sure it’s actually happening?

I’ve split the thread.
