> 1. '-Wdeprecated-copy'
> As specified in C++11 [1], "the generation of the implicitly-defined
> copy constructor is deprecated if T has a user-defined destructor or
> user-defined copy assignment operator". The rationale behind is the
> well-known Rule of Three [2].
> 
> Introduced since gcc-9 [3] and clang-10 [4], flag '-Wdeprecated-copy'
> warns about the C++11 deprecation of implicitly declared copy
> constructor and assignment operator if one of them is user-provided.
> Defining an explicit copy constructor would suppress this warning.
> 
> The main reason why debug build with gcc-9 or higher succeeds lies in
> the inconsistent warning behaviors between gcc and clang. See the
> reduced code example [5]. We suspect it might be return value
> optimization/copy elision [6] that drives gcc not to declare implicit
> copy constructor for this case.
> 
> Note that flag '-Wdeprecated' in clang-8 and clang-9 would also raise
> warnings for deprecated defintions of copy constructors. However,
> '-Wdeprecated' is not enabled by '-Wall' or '-Wextra'. Hence, clang-8
> and clang-9 are not affected.
> 
> ~~2. '-Wimplicit-int-float-conversion'~~
> ~~Making the conversion explicit would fix it.~~
> 
> ~~Flag '-Wimplicit-int-float-conversion' is first introduced in clang-10.~~
> ~~Therefore clang-8 and clang-9 are not affected. The flag with similar~~
> ~~functionality in gcc is '-Wfloat-conversion', but it is not enabled by~~
> ~~'-Wall' or '-Wextra'. That's why this warning does not apprear when~~
> ~~building with gcc.~~

> Note that we have tested with this patch, debug build succeeded with clang-10 on Linux X86-64/AArch64 machines.
> Note that '--with-extra-cxxflags=-Wno-implicit-int-float-conversion' should be added when configuration. It's another issue (See JDK-8259288)

Hao Sun has updated the pull request incrementally with one additional commit since the last revision:

  Split the PR, addressing -Wdeprecated-copy only
  
  As suggested by kimbarrett, we should focus on warnings produced by
  '-Wdeprecated-copy' in this PR. Because JDK-8259288 is a very different
  problem and might be reviewed by folks from different teams.
  
  Will create a new PR to address JDK-8259288.
