AS> It doesn't have to be short: -Wdefault-warnings. I haven't looked at all of the replies since I posted, and I *had* forgotten about -Wextra (I can't even remember how many years it has been since I last read that section of the manual), but adding a new option to contain the default warnings fits well with my thesis. Something like -Wdefault-warnings is a reasonable choice, for the reasons already mentioned in this sub-thread. -JimC -- James Cloos <cl...@jhcloos.com> OpenPGP: 1024D/ED7DAEA6
