CAVEAT: -Weverything (were it to be incorporated) would only enable toggle flag warnings. It would not enable exceeded threshold warnings (since those warnings have to be supplied a threshold parameter) or parameter based warnings (since those warnings require a parameter). I, for one, am entirely in favor of a -Weverything flag, and then explicitly opt-out, ala -Wno-foo, on a case-by-case basis. I have asked for that feature in the past, on this forum, but did not meet with any interest amongst the GCC developers, nor any interest (at that time*) from other GCC users. For the self-same reasons expressed in this recent discussion. Of course, there's always the GCC is open source, add the flag yourself option. (I do often build my own GCC, but I don't normally fiddle with the source code.) Sincerely, --Eljay * Now there is both of us! :-)
