We are pretty liberal with the warnings. -Wall will catch trying to mutate const variables. We also use address sanitizer[0] with clang which helps a lot with common memory errors. All this makes the code run (relatively) quite slow but since anything they're testing should complete in a few seconds regardless, it's not a problem for us in practice.
