Ok, I've reread the docs. I had not noticed some of the entry before because I did not read the sections on FORTRAN and C++. I also greped to info manual but most of the options only had documentation for there '--no-' counterparts. -Wline-truncation How can it be truncated? -Wimplicit-interface What's an explicit interface? -Wimplicit-procedure What's an explicit interface? -Winvalid-memory-model I could not find it mentioned in the info manual. -Wcharacter-truncation "Warn when a character assignment will truncate the assigned string." How/why would a string be truncated? -Wlogical-op Why would it give false positives? What's the criteria under which it makes these assumptions? -Wstack-protector How can a function get smashed? -- View this message in context: http://gcc.1065356.n5.nabble.com/A-few-Qs-on-the-Wfoo-options-tp987688p996340.html Sent from the gcc - Help mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
