Hi,

What would people think about a -Weverything option which turns on
every warning there is?

I think that could be quite useful in some circumstances, especially
to find potential bugs with warnings that people, for some reason
or other, found too noisy for -Wextra.

The name could be something else, of course. In the best GNU tradition,
-Wkitchen-sink could be another option :-)

https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=31573 and duplicates alreadylist quite a few arguments. Basically, it could be useful for debugginggcc or to discover warnings, but gcc devs fear that users will actuallyuse it for real.
