Use your best judgment to either fix or suppress the warning." Actually, prompted by compile error in Boost Exception on GCC 3.4.5, triggered by a warning "fix" made just prior to release (see [1]http://svn.boost.org/trac/boost/ticket/3641) I think we should ban all last minute changes (including warning "fixes") that are not addressing *bugs*. Emil, judging by the last couple of weeks of discussion, I believe that you are hostile to the idea of spending any time looking at warnings, and think that no good will come from it. If you have to deal with them, because users might not like them, you would rather just suppress the warnings, or tell gcc that yours are system headers so that no warnings will appear. Then you would like a stated policy saying that suppressing is as good as fixing, and you're done. This is how you've fairly consistently come across <grin;>, and I'm just asking if this is indeed your position. Fair? Going farther, in this thread you seem to want to remove any help that people might have gotten from the wiki to understand their warnings and deal with them. Is that what you mean?
