It's better to fail with certainty, than toggle randomly some features on/off... Unless autoconf guys promise that their macros are meant to work with -Werror, it seems safer to fail. Plus there are our own macros. How about explicit switch to turn -Werror on, safely? -- marko -- Sent via pgsql-hackers mailing list (pgsql-hackers@postgresql.org) To make changes to your subscription: http://www.postgresql.org/mailpref/pgsql-hackers
