> I guess you also need a way to suppress spurious warnings. man gcc ... You can request many specific warnings with options beginning -W, for example -Wimplicit to request warnings on implicit declarations. Each of these specific warning options also has a negative form beginning -Wno- to turn off warnings; for example, -Wno-implicit. This manual lists only one of the two forms, whichever is not the default. For further, language-specific options also refer to C++ Dialect Options and Objective-C and Objective-C++ Dialect Options. > And C compilers normally don't warn you about follies, like using global mutable state. I mean no great disrespect, but if you need a machine to remind you not to use global mutable state, get back in the oven, you're still a bit gooey on the inside.
