Why /W4 for VC 7+? The IDE's default is still /W3 on these compilers. I don't think selecting a level different from the compiler's/IDE's default is necessarily a good idea. Of course, what *would* be nice is to have some way to specify this portably for all toolsets. IOW, the default would be to use what's considered a normal level for the toolset, but <warnings>all could be used to crank it up to full. -- William E.
