There should be no discussion about adding or removing anything from the -Wall level. It should include all warnings available. The current -Wall should be renamed to something like -W3 to prevent misleading users. Each warning should be assigned a warning level depending on the severity. The user should normally only need to specify the desired warning level. -Wall should be used only occasionally to make sure no warning is missed. > However, first try compiling a > few big projects (like the kernel, QT libraries and KDE) and check that the > suggested warning only finds real bugs.
