> and the solution consisted of addressing said warnings alone. Alternative solutions which should not have taken two weeks would've included: -Wno-inane-drivel-involving-white-spaces -Wno-error=inane-drivel-involving-white-spaces Just because you're using -Werror doesn't mean literally every single warning in the compiler ever should be a hard error. It means errors should be the default, allowing you to opt-out of stupid warnings-as-errors, rather than needing to opt-in to critical warnings-as-errors.
