Like most software, how to use GCC is documented in its manual: http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Warning-Options.html Which says: "You can request many specific warnings with options beginning `-W', for example -Wimplicit to request warnings on implicit declarations. Each of these specific warning options also has a negative form beginning `-Wno-' to turn off warnings; for example, -Wno-implicit."
