I really disagree with that. So many devs have already said multiple |
| 6 |
times in this thread that "-Werror" is only turning existing warnings |
| 7 |
into fatal errors but "-Werror" itself doesn't add any new checks and |
| 8 |
more often requires "-O3" to be useful. |

So let's turn this around: Please show us a *real* case within Gentoo |
| 11 |
where "-Werror" prevented a real problem which wouldn't otherwise being |
| 12 |
noticed. E.g. show us a package which was merged on user's system, |
| 13 |
replacing a working previous version of that package causing *real* |
| 14 |
problems which could have been prevented if package would have set |
| 15 |
"-Werror". |

Unless you can do that we don't really need to discuss this. Simply |
| 18 |
because everyone interested in "-Werror" *can* set that flag via CFLAGS, |
| 19 |
even just per package, whereas the majority, not interested in this, |
| 20 |
cannot do the same to filter "-Werror". Nobody advocating for "-Werror" |
| 21 |
replied to that fact yet. |
