In sc/qa/unit/ucalc_formula.cxx, dropping the capture-default from the lExpectedinF lambda revealed that MSVC in C++17 mode (i.e., when building without --with-latest-c++) requires ROW_RANGE (a local const int variable from the enclosing TestFormula::testTdf97369) to be captured, even though all uses of that variable within the lambda body are constant expressions. That is still true at least for the latest Visual Studio 2019 version 16.11.1. (This is not an issue for the lExpectedinH and lExpectedinI lambdas a few lines further down, as they, in addition to using that ROW_RANGE, also use the local const double variables SHIFT1 and SHIFT2, whose uses are not constant expressions, so they are implicitly captured and loplugin:unusedcapturedefault does not suggest dropping those lambdas' capture-defaults in the first place.)

Compiler plugins
Overview
This directory contains code for compiler plugins. These are used to perform additional actions during compilation (such as additional warnings) and also to perform mass code refactoring.
Currently only the Clang compiler is supported http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Clang.
Usage
Compiler plugins are enabled automatically by --enable-dbgutil if Clang headers
are found or explicitly using --enable-compiler-plugins.
Functionality
There are two kinds of plugin actions:
- compile checks - these are run during normal compilation
- rewriters - these must be run manually and modify source files
Each source has a comment saying whether it's compile check or a rewriter and description of functionality.
Compile Checks
Used during normal compilation to perform additional checks. All warnings and errors are marked '[loplugin]' in the message.
Rewriters
Rewriters analyse and possibly modify given source files.
Usage: make COMPILER_PLUGIN_TOOL=<rewriter_name>
Additional optional make arguments:
- it is possible to also pass
FORCE_COMPILE_ALL=1to make to trigger rebuild of all source files, even those that are up to date. UPDATE_FILES=<scope>- limits which modified files will be actually written back with the changesmainfile- only the main.cxxfile will be modified (default)all- all source files involved will be modified (possibly even header files from other LO modules), 3rd party header files are however never modified<module>- only files in the given LO module (toplevel directory) will be modified (including headers)
Modifications will be written directly to the source files.
Some rewriter plugins are dual-mode and can also be used in a non-rewriting mode
in which they emit warnings for problematic code that they would otherwise
automatically rewrite. When any rewriter is enabled explicitly via make COMPILER_PLUGIN_TOOL=<rewriter_name> it works in rewriting mode (and all other
plugins are disabled), but when no rewriter is explicitly enabled (i.e., just
make), all dual-mode rewriters are enabled in non-rewriting mode (along with
all non-rewriter plugins; and all non--dual-mode plugins are disabled). The
typical process to use such a dual-mode rewriter X in rewriting mode is
make COMPILER_PLUGIN_WARNINGS_ONLY=X \
&& make COMPILER_PLUGIN_TOOL=X FORCE_COMPILE_ALL=1 UPDATE_FILES=all
which first generates a full build without failing due to warnings from plugin
X in non-rewriting mode (in case of --enable-werror) and then repeats the build
in rewriting mode (during which no object files are generate).
