The latest patches to hide warnings under BSDs (55b4e2 and f84035) are
raising a lot of new problems.
They don't support compiling with gcc. Either the build is totally broken
or new warnings are raised.
I tested with clang - the default compilers... Perhaps older ones might
have a problem though...
Even with older clang there are many new warnings.
The reason is that the new compiler options are just not supported.
I could send a patch but it would use some of the __GNUC* and __clang*
macros. It makes it complicated and is not very nice.
By the way: I don't like this sort of "solution". It indeed reduces some
noise, but also possibly hides important information.
I agree WRT to potentially hiding a newly introduced warning, but how
would you even spot that among 9000+ others? It's just noise.
It's not intended as a "solution", rather as a filter.
If you would like to revert the problematic options, feel free, but
leave the working ones there. And please *do not* re-add -Wall. That's
just pointless for an end user.
If someone wants to go through and clean some of these thousands of
issues up, they will know how to supply the proper -W options.
