keep in mind though that -Weverything is not intended to be used in production: https://quuxplusone.github.io/blog/2018/12/06/dont-use-wever...

-Weverything is great for CI though, in compination with lots of -Wno-... flags to disable warnings you don't want. Instead of having to manually look out for new warning flags you will get all automatically.

Yep, this is what I do; throw in -Weverything followed by a few things like -Wno-packed -Wno-padded -Wno-unused-parameter.
