Hello,
a year or more ago I started an attempt to turn on additional warnings with gccs -W switch. The amount of additional warnings created made any warnings useless (the current count is >2700). I've just thought about the problem again and come up with a divide and conquer approach: Why not turn -W on and disable the additional warnings on a per directory basis? The idea is to turn on the additional warnings and then disable them on a per directory/type basis by putting a file into each directory turning off one or both of the additional warnings that occur very often (signed/unsigned comparisons and unused parameters/variables). If both warnings should be shown in a directory, the file may be removed. I've attached an example patch and the initial look of the .nowarn file. What do you think of the idea in general and this particular solution?
Ciao Jörg -- Joerg Mayer jmayer@loplof.de I found out that "pro" means "instead of" (as in proconsul). Now I know what proactive means.
