I do have a little sympathy with your, and his, position, when dealing with extremely tight time constraints, but not a lot. If one of the design criteria is that the code being produced must be widely portable, then I pass it through the range of platforms and compilers that we have to support, and as far as it is possible, I try to treat all warnings as errors.
The virtual destructor warning goes directly against a conscious design decision. In my opinion it also teaches programmers a bad habit. This doesn't make the warning any less annoying of course, so I'm doing my best to suppress it. The fact that we're having this discussion is another upside: it shows the reader that at least some people think that it is an error to "fix" this particular warning. :) Emil Dotchevski Reverge Studios, Inc. http://www.revergestudios.com/reblog/index.php?n=ReCode
