This is one of the reasons I insist on my C/C++ code compiling with "-Wall -Wextra -Werror" and a few other switches.

No, there needs to be a article on -Wall -Wextra and -Werror being harmful, these are metaflags that:

1. Vary between compiler versions.

2. Vary between compiler implementations.

3. Often contain somewhat useless warnings (Wparentheses) that can change with changes in 1. or 2.
