Disable warning from irony for PHP files

Disable warning from irony for PHP files

[Sanjeev Sariya]

Hi Emacs Community,

Version: GNU Emacs 24.5.1

Please bear with me, I'm a learner on how to enable and play around config file in emacs for different languages. 

I've installed package for php : php-mode
For which the config file looks:

(require 'php-mode)
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.php$" . php-mode))
(add-to-list 'auto-mode-alist '("\\.inc$" . php-mode))


I've irony, and company-irony mode added in my init.el, for which init.el looks like:

(eval-after-load 'company
    '(add-to-list 'company-backends 'company-irony))

(require 'irony)
(add-hook 'after-init-hook #'global-company-mode)
(add-hook 'c++-mode-hook 'irony-mode)
(add-hook 'c-mode-hook 'irony-mode)

When I open alpha.php, I get following warning:

Warning (irony): Major mode is unknown to Irony, see `irony-supported-major-modes'.

I know irony doesn't support php file. How can I disable irony to work while working with .php or any other language, or say restrict it to c, cpp, .h, .hpp files?

Any guidance shall be highly appreciated

I'm guessing it's because `company-irony' is being added to the global
`company-backends'. That's harmless (it won't produce any results, so
another backend will be used), but you could instead configure things
like this to avoid the warning:

(require 'irony)

(add-hook 'after-init-hook #'global-company-mode)

(defun my-company-irony ()
  (irony-mode)
  (unless (memq 'company-irony company-backends)
    (setq-local company-backends (cons 'company-irony company-backends))))

(add-hook 'c-mode-hook #'my-company-irony)
(add-hook 'c++-mode-hook #'my-company-irony)

The idea is that, instead of modifying the global `company-backends',
you give it a separate value in c-mode and c++-mode buffers and add the
`company-irony' backend there.
