Different compilers warn about different things - compiling with a wide variety of compilers (GCC, MSVC, various proprietary compilers for UNIX-flavored OSes, etc.) is useful as they maximize the number of possible problems caught by compilers. (I've checked in fixes to libpcap and tcpdump due to problems caught by the Sun C compiler or the Digital^H^H^H^H^H^H^HCompaq^H^H^H^H^H^HHP compiler for Alpha/Digital^H^H^H^H^H^H^HTru64 UNIX; GCC didn't catch those problems.) It might, for some compilers, be possible to get it to issue more warnings. I don't know, offhand, the best switches to use with MSVC in for Ethereal.
