I agreed to implement -Wall on the > explicit understanding that we would NOT adopt the goal to change our > code so that -Wall would not warn. Except that latest versions of GCC by default enable more and more warnings that previously belonged to -Wall. Warnings such as these for example: regex.c: In function `re_search_2': regex.c:4231: warning: comparison is always true due to limited range of data type This warning is a terrible nuisance in a complex macro, for example. > If there is a specific kind of warning that would be useful here, > there is probably an -f option to enable that specific kind of > warning. That might be a good thing to use for Emacs. Agreed.
