That is why I would prefer a solution without any false positive while allowing false negatives, i.e. not force everybody to use these flags without giving a way to turn them off. You could perhaps sell us a solution like this: * Put these more strict options to CC_FLAGS_PEDANTIC (you may later want to come up with LD_FLAGS_PEDANTIC and friends to make other comands also more strict). * Introduce PEDANTIC variable that turns XX_FLAGS_PEDANTIC variables to less strict when set to 0 and more strict when set to 1, similar to the way the variable V makes "make V=0" and "make V=1" behave slightly differently. Then we could introduce PEDANTIC=0 as default first to have people try it out, with an expectation that later we can flip the default to 'on' when the feature matures. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
