I'm sometimes doing the obvious mistake of adding a ";" after an if-statement. if (<expression>); DoSomething(); This error sometimes causes weird behaviour of the program, and are hard to spot in the code. I once read a recommendation that you should always add curly braces, even if for single statement blocks: if (<expression>); { DoSomething(); } ...as this would normally cause a good compiler to issue a warning. But, using XCode on Mac (built on top of GCC) I'm not warned for these errors, and I can't find an option in Xcode to enable such a warning. Is there another way to make gcc issue a warning for empty statements such as the one above (I know it's legal C / C++ code, but it's use is fairly narrow I would say).
