I am not a fan, because I think this mainly hides bugs. But also because the original change proposal made it sound like we don't have any other way to find and fix these kind of bugs. While a little analysis of your examples showed we can find and fix 100% of these issues with the existing gcc and analysis tools. So my counter proposal would probably be to enforce -Werror and running all package test-suites under valgrind. But maybe others won't like that "solution". If you do propose this again could you at least make clear it's another tool in the toolbox, not a replacement, and that the other tools do work, and are trusted (if you pay attention to them). Then at least we could have a honest discussion why (and in which circumstances) each of the tools might or might not work/catch an issue. And if we may/can/should require packagers to pay more attention to compiler warnings and/or running analysis tools over the sources they package.
