A good idea.
Thanks!
Assuming you use gcc, please propose it at
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla.
Yep I use gcc. I'm too lazy to open bugzilla. I reported it to the mailing
list, and it seems it's an easy thing to do (at least compared to what it could
have been). I'll give it a try to implement it. I CCd you in the thread, in
case you are interested in it. For anyone else, it's:
<https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc/2022-November/239980.html>
Apropos of help from the compiler, I normally run gcc via this script
and stamp out all warnings.
#!/bin/bash
exec /bin/gcc -Wall -Wpedantic -Wextra "$@"
Hmm, might be interesting to create a ccw alias, and a cce one. I always feel
that writing those two/three arguments is a bit tiring.
