[cmake] Disable GCC 9's -Wredundant-move
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
Summary:
This new warning (enabled by -Wextra) fires when a std::move is
redundant, as the default compiler behavior would be to select a move
operation anyway (e.g., when returning a local variable). Unlike
-Wpessimizing-move, it has no performance impact -- it just adds noise.

Currently llvm has about 1500 of these warnings. Unfortunately, the
suggested fix -- removing std::move -- does not work because of some
older compilers we still support. Specifically clang<=3.8 will not use a
move operation if an implicit conversion is needed (Core issue 1579). In
code like "A f(ConvertibleToA a) { return a; }" it will prefer a copy,
or fail to compile if a copy is not possible.

This patch disables that warning to get a meaningful signal out of a GCC
9 build.
