Applied, and thanks.
Somewhat astray of the subject, but I'm confused about -Werror. When I
bulid gcc, I configure with
CFLAGS = -g3 -O0 -std=c11
partly out of fun, because I know c11 is not a requirement. That
produces a boatload of warnings, for example that the 1st argument to
printf is not a constant.
When I asked gcc what the canonical warning options are -- i.e, what
options are expected to be used and still produce a warning-free build
-- the answer was "-W". I took that to mean that the effort of pursuing
warning-free code is not deemed worthwhile.
Are all warnings equal, or some more equal than others?
