Folks, I am compiling on a Red Hat System using gcc 4.1.2. My project has a mix of C and C++ files. . For safety sake, I want to have the -Wimplicit-function-declaration flag set so if someone forgets a header, we know about it. This issue is that I make one set of generic flags that I apply to both C and C++ compiles. When the above flag is specified and the file is a C++ file, the compiler emits a warning that the flag is not applicable to C++. (Which makes sense, as in C++ the language requires it, as opposed to just being a really useful check). Due to our existing make setup, I would prefer to not have to make a set of flags that is only applicable to C compiles, as that would have a cascade effect on our makefiles. Is there a way to have the compiler not complain about the flag during C++ compiles, that does not involve removing it ? Thanks, Dale Pennington
