We also don't have the same type of deep distrust of government that some other Western countries have - which is not to say that Australians love their governments, far from it, but we don't exactly have a strong anti-government

Give me sources, or I'll say you're just plain wrong. Conduct that amounts to war crimes will amount to an offence either under the Defence Force Discipline Act or under civilian law - ADFIS and AFP do investigate this stuff, thou

Then use -Wno-* to disable specific warnings that are problematic, when they become problematic. That solves 90% of the issues with using -Werror.

To be clear - there's the Apache OpenWhisk project ( https://openwhisk.incubator.apache.org ) which was initially developed and released by IBM. IBM Bluemix, of course, offers OpenWhisk on their platform, but you can set up y
