    Yes -w can cast a fairly "wide net".

    But I don't want code running out there that generates warnings without at least understanding what each warning means and how each warning comes about. That thinking leads to a development process that eliminates the warnings. I just haven't found a situation where a run time error didn't matter in some way.
