Hi Khem,

I don't quite get what you mean. Disable warning as errors?

As https://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2019-04/msg00315.html, gcc 
upstream thinks the build error is meaningless when compile 
gcc-sanitizers with -Og and suggests not use -Og to compile for 
gcc-sanitizers.

So I send out the patch to add the workaround [DEBUG_OPTIMIZATION_append 
= " -Wno-error"] to silence the error when debug build is enabled for 
gcc-sanitizers.
If the workaround isn't suitable, then how to silence the 
-Werror=maybe-uninitialized issue build error when debug build enabled?

Thanks,
