I think that might be putting it a bit too strongly. Warnings-as-errors absolutely *is* meant to be used with local builds (so that you'll be able to catch most issues locally instead of as build failures on Try or Inbound). You're very much right about this caveat, though: > when compiling with a compiler that doesn't match what's used on > automation, yes, you risk hitting new warnings, and failing to build as > a consequence. (This is why it's encouraged, but not the default behavior.) This risk is fairly low if you're using a commonly-used (albeit not-on-TBPL) compiler, because that makes it more likely that other devs will have caught & fixed any potential issues before you hit them. ~Daniel _______________________________________________ dev-platform mailing list dev-platform@lists.mozilla.org https://lists.mozilla.org/listinfo/dev-platform
