The compiler does not perform source code checking for Unicode vulnerabilities.

Description

This option determines whether the compiler performs source code checking for Unicode vulnerabilities.

Option Wcheck-unicode-security enables Unicode checking. The compiler will detect and warn about Unicode constructs that can be exploited by using bi-directional formatting codes, zero-width characters in strings, and use of zero-width characters and homoglyphs in identifiers.

Option Wno-check-unicode-security disables Unicode checking.

NOTE:

This option only applies to host compilation. When offloading is enabled, it does not impact device-specific compilation.
