Don't you believe that with the right syntax a coder can get every compiler to become happy?
It isn't always about syntax, and it isn't always desirable to work around the warning. Few examples: - C4996 on MSVC should be disabled. - non-virtual-dtor on GCC contradicts a valid design choice. - the GCC warning about using C-style cast is annoying when I'm casting 0 to a null pointer as in (T *)0.
