Man this is confusing.. > The -w is just simply the "treat warnings as errors" switch (and of course it also implies "enable warnings"). Most compilers have an "enable warnings" switch and a "treat warnings as errors" switch. DMD is the same, it just treats "as errors" as the default instead of "as warnings" as the default. That is perhaps a little backwards, but it's partly because DMD didn't used to even *have* the "-wi" switch and the ability to treat warnings *not* as errors. Then we talked^H^H^H^H^H^Hharrassed Walter into adding -wi, and being such a good sport he obliged :)
