Because we use the clang safe buffers feature (https://clang.llvm.org/docs/SafeBuffers.html), some external dependency includes need to be wrapped with pragma statements that disable/enable these warnings. We can try using the --system-header-prefix flag (https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/blob/main/clang/docs/UsersManual.rst#controlling-diagnostics-in-system-headers) to tell clang that certain header prefixes contain "system" headers, which suppresses warnings. The include paths for external envoy headers and our own headers share the same directory structure, and this flag only operates on the include paths as they appear in the source code (instead of the resolved "external/" headers), so by default none of the envoy headers are treated as system headers.
We can add the
envoy/,absl/, andapi/prefixes to the system headers list, since these contain envoy public api definitions, abseil code, and generated api code respectively. We also addsource/common/common/to suppress warnings in envoy common code, andsource/common/buffer/(which most of the warnings originate from), which is fine as long as we don't use these paths in our own code in the future.
