And next thing you know reality strikes: when you modify code do you first remove all "with-no-warnings", recompile, check the output and then put the with-no-warnings back in? Depends. If the code change is trivial, I would just be extra careful inside the `with-no-warnings'. If it is extensive, I would indeed temporarily remove the `with-no-warnings'. But the latter should very rarely happen: `with-no-warnings' is not supposed to cover a large chunk of code anyway. How substantive a change is one going to make to `(with-no-warnings (beginning-of-buffer))'? I believe that a much bigger problem is that many people do not pay any attention to compiler warnings. If one runs `make bootstrap' one gets an endless litany of one compiler warning after the other, that no one apparently ever paid any attention to. Sincerely, Luc.
