The name is too specific and can be misread: - It is specific to -Werror, but other similar systems exist. - It can be easily read an "now error" (i.e., a warning should "now (be an) error"). Also I think it was recommended to *not* use -Werror by default as it is too fragile. Maybe one should have a "developer mode" flag instead that allows using -Werror? Ansgar
