--- Comment #10 from Marc Glisse <glisse at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Manuel, you seem to want a -Wsuper-extra that you can use everyday (maybe with
a couple -Wno-*). What some other people want with -Weverything is a way to
discover what warnings are available in the compiler. For instance, they
discover a bug or a performance issue in their code, extract a small
reproducer, and want to find if there exists a flag that would help them narrow
down the places they need to review in the rest of their code base for similar
issues. So yes, it should warn all over the place and give contradictory
advice, it should even include the warning that just tells you how large your
function is. As a bonus, this makes it obvious to users that they are not
supposed to make their code -Weverything clean. Maybe the name -Wrant would
make it more acceptable?
