You have more trust in GCC and other compilers than I do.
If you'd like some entertainment, then for example see:
http://gcc.gnu.org/PR52798
http://gcc.gnu.org/PR25509
Bugs and misdesigned features do not have to be involved for this to
be a problem --- all it takes is a gcc upgrade that adds a new
warning, and suddenly you've turned your existing potential code
cleanliness improvements into failed builds and lots of wasted time
for innocent sysadmins. -Werror is great for development, but using
it in production turns out to be pretty much always a terrible idea.
Thanks for the chance to vent about this. :) It's bad, bad, bad.
Ciao,
Jonathan
