Bug ID: 113298
Summary: RFE: allow suppressing warnings for void * conversions
with -fpermissive
Product: gcc
Version: unknown
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c++
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: hpa at zytor dot com
Target Milestone: ---
-fpermissive downgrades some errors to warnings, but there doesn't seem to be
any -W options to suppress those warnings, and -fpermissive itself is a fairly
wide switch.
Having individual -W options for the various -fpermissive events would allow
the programmer to pick what extensions to allow unconditionally, which to warn
for, and which to error out for (-Werror=).
Allowing void * to be converted to a pointer to a POD structure is particularly
useful in the process of moving a project from C to C++.
