I'd like to confirm the guidance on Warnings I find here https://svn.boost.org/trac10/wiki/Guidelines/WarningsGuidelines is still considered current?
More or less - the advice could use updating, and each new compiler release brings new warnings, some busy-body some not, so it's a constant struggle to catch up.
Speaking for myself I'm happy to fix or suppress (as appropriate) warnings in my stuff, so bring on the PR's I would say ;)
Of course you may have to nag the community maintenance team if you're submitting PR's against unmaintained libraries.
HTH, John.
Nagging will not be required; I prefer warning-free builds as well. None of the CMT repositories use "warnings-as-errors" as a build setting however, so the CI builds will not test or guarantee no warnings. Would love to get there.
