Re: [boost] Official warnings policy?

I'm *not* saying we should do this for 1.41, but should we have an official policy regarding compiler warnings and which ones we regard as "failures"?

I realize these can get pretty busy-body at times, but if the user sees several pages of warnings when building Boost it doesn't look so good. So my suggestion would be that we have two test-runners (if we have any spare!) that build with warnings-as-errors, maybe:

-Wall -pedantic -Wstrict-aliasing -fstrict-aliasing -Werror

I would remove -pedantic, but otherwise, it's a very good idea. Unfortunately, recent discussion left me with the impression that few folks care. - Volodya
