[Echempp-devel] -Werror

[<ber...@t-...>]

Hi,
after including the new --enable-optimize flag into the autotool support for the 
Quantities library, I checked the compiler flags used.
I find that a flag that I used to have in my old makefiles was -Werror. This 
makes all warnings to errors. I always thought it a good idea to get even all 
warnings wiped out, and possibly have cleaner code than  without that flag (see 
also Alexandrescu and Sutter's comment: `The compiler is your friend').
There might be some reason for taking this out (e.g., some of you have some 
nasty problem with a warning which you may NOT be flagged as error ...), but 
let's discuss the various possibilities. I would vote in favor of the stricter
flag, i.e. including -Werror.
Regards
Bernd
