You have more trust in GCC and other compilers than I do. If you'd like some entertainment, then for example see: http://gcc.gnu.org/PR52798 http://gcc.gnu.org/PR25509 Bugs and misdesigned features do not have to be involved for this to be a problem --- all it takes is a gcc upgrade that adds a new warning, and suddenly you've turned your existing potential code cleanliness improvements into failed builds and lots of wasted time for innocent sysadmins. -Werror is great for development, but using it in production turns out to be pretty much always a terrible idea. Thanks for the chance to vent about this. :) It's bad, bad, bad.
