OK,
I personally have a situation when I have to allocate limited resources
(my time) between different projects, not all of them being software
development.
So, convince me why I have to spend any more time on this particular
project then absolutely necessary.
By the way, did anybody actually verify that my changes actually solve
original problem (i.e compilation for Windows) instead of
procrastinating and fixing compiler warnings ?

A few years back at a NA_MIC project Week in SLC, I suggested that
warnings are the graffiti of software quality. Here is a summary:
The book, The Tipping Point, analyses trends and how they take hold.
As (NAME YOUR SOFTWARE) grows and the number of contributors
increases, there needs to be tighter controls on the quality of the
system. The larger the code base, number of platforms and developers,
the more need there is for attention to quality.
In the Tipping Point, a chapter on increasing crime in New York City
in the 1990's describes how the trend was reversed. The city
concentrated areas like cleaning graffiti from subway cars. The author
claims that this and other seemingly trivial goals may have led to a
reversal of the crime trend.
This project hypothesizes that compilation warnings are the graffiti
of software quality. A lack of attention to this seemingly trivial
goal shows a lack of attention to the overall quality of software.
This project will reduce warnings to zero for a popular c++
compiler,(NAME YOUR COMPILER).

ABSOLUTELY THEY MUST BE FIXED!
A tremendous amount of developer energy used in maintaining code that has
warnings. The cost of software maintenance is substantially reduce when
warnings are removed.
It is my experience that warnings VERY highly correlated with real bugs.

Hello,
do we really have to fix warnings at this stage? I.e everything else
actually compiles?

Hi all,
As for the MINC compiler warnings... I've fixed a bunch in my github
fork, Vlad can you review and merge?
<https://github.com/seanm/libminc/tree/develop>
I've also disabled a bunch of others, because they are a long term
project...
Cheers,
