There is currently no support in gcc for turning specific warnings into errors.
I do most of my developement with gcc while my colleagues use MSVC, which will error out on -Wcast-qual's equivalent. Using -Werror would be completely unpractical because our codebase is fairly large and spewing a LOT of warnings already. Yet there are several warnings ( like cast-qual ) that I would want to error out so I don't checkin code that will not compile on other platforms. At this point the only option is to post process gcc's output, which is obviously suboptimal. -- Summary: no support for turning specific warnings into errors Product: gcc Version: 4.0.3 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: other AssignedTo: unassigned at gcc dot gnu dot org ReportedBy: ttimo at idsoftware dot com http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=27617
