Yes, that's exactly what warnings are for. If people need to treat them
differently than that (ex: C++), that's a failing of the language.
As soon as warnings are part of the build process,
Nobody said anything about making them part of the build process. We're
talking about them being included in the compiler, not about them being
in the build process. Please don't move the goalposts.
Plus, other warnings (like deprecations, for example) which have proven
extremely helpful would have been a major problem had they been outright
errors.
Technically, deprecations aren't warnings, and dmd treats them quite
differently. They aren't affected by either -wi or -w, and from a semantic
perspective, they're completely different.
That is purely playing around with word semantics. Deprecations in DMD
are a non-fatal message about something that might need fixed sooner or
later. That is what a warning is. Implementation details do nothing to
change that.
