Handling of -Wno-pointer-sign when used with g++ is not consistent with other C specific warning option (at least -Wstrict-prototypes -Wdeclaration-after-statement)
May I suggest to also emit a warning instead of an error as many people use CXXFLAGS= $(CFLAGS) + $(c++ specific options) cc1plus: warning: command line option "-Wstrict-prototypes" is valid for Ada/C/ObjC but not for C++ cc1plus: warning: command line option "-Wdeclaration-after-statement" is valid for C/ObjC but not for C++ cc1plus: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno-pointer-sign" -- Summary: cc1plus: error: unrecognized command line option "-Wno- pointer-sign" Product: gcc Version: 4.0.1 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: minor Priority: P2 Component: c++ AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: eric dot valette at free dot fr CC: gcc-bugs at gcc dot gnu dot org http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22511
