> This isn't really about a dialect, so it still doesn't make sense.
By "dialect", the manual means "language", as in "warning specific to the C++
language". Why it uses the word "dialect" completely escapes to me? Feel free
to propose in g...@gcc.gnu.org to change the word and see what people think.
> And: Why isn't it included in -Wall -Wextra -pedantic?
Because old-style casts are still used everywhere, it is more of a matter of
style, and adding new warnings to -Wall -Wextra will break building any project
that uses -Werror for code that is surely working fine. Users complain about
this all the time.
(-pedantic is for GCC specific extensions, so it doesn't apply).
