--- Comment #6 from Jonathan Wakely <redi at gcc dot gnu.org> 2012-05-03 10:54:09 UTC --- I don't have a strong opinion. In the large codebase I'm working on currently we use -Wall -Wextra but don't use -Woverloaded-virtual (and we are aware of it, it's in a Makefile but commented out) because it generates too much noise. If it was in -Wall or -Wextra we'd probably use -Wno-overloaded-virtual But that's just one codebase and we could disable it or add using directives everywhere if it was added to -Wextra
