Hello
I noticed that when compiling C files with GCC and using the -Werror
option, I see this additional output:
cc1.exe: warnings being treated as errors
./src/main.c: In function 'main':
./src/main.c:41:15: error: unused variable 'hello'
Is the "cc1" line output needed? Just wondering if it could be
removed. Appears superfluous.
It's not superfluous, it says that the error following might have been
a warning, except that -Werror was used.
If you don't want it you can either fix the warning or not use -Werror.
It's kind of re-iterating the command line options, that the user will
choose to be aware of already. I don't recall seeing that text output
before about ~1 year ago.
I'd thought because the previous line of output said "gcc -Werror -Wall
-o main main.c", the options clear.
If it's really vauluble, that output could be turned on by an option
itself! -Wdisplay-warning-upgrade. Leaving it off by default.
Best regards, Jon
