I disagree. As has been shown many times in the past (and I suspect the down-under constituent will show that at least a couple of the 'warnings' fixes will be wrong and hide bogus code), making -Wall a goal causes people to cover up bad code with bad casts and such. '-Wall' is *NOT* a good design goal. Nate To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
