I think these warnings are valuable indicators of potential bugs and the devs should pay close attention to them. I use `-Werror' in all my C programs, except in rare cases, e.g., MinGW compiler not recognizing `%zd' format in `printf()', etc. But if you're asking why the Makefile of st doesn't use these flags by default then I think the makefile is supposed to be used by the end user and the user should not be required to deal with warnings. Unless they want to, in which case they can include the flags themselves. P.S. I'm not a suckless dev. Just a suckless enjoyer. -- Enan
