It sure is. But there are things that can help. For example, this kind
of error is *very* easy to spot if you use the help gcc can give you;
namely -Werror. This makes all warnings errors, which (in my opinion,
of course) is very good, since it makes people care about warnings. I
mean, seriously, if you don't care about the warning in the first
place, why didn't you use -w to suppress it?
Just my two cents.
