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 For gcc and: /W3 /WX for MSVC? Obviously these may prove to be far too busy-body, but is this worth a try? Cheers, John.
