For GCC-4.8, I would like to turn on -Wall by default.
Comments?



Umm, should this really happen at exactly the same time as C++
by default?



I assume that Gaby is talking about making -Wall the default for users
of GCC.

If so, that seems awful presumptuous to me.

We do have regular requests for this, so it is not just out of thin air.
Perhaps, but I think that changing the default like this is far too invasive. GCC should do what it's told, if a user asks for warnings, give them, if they don't, then don't. I suspect changing the default like this will generate a flood of complaints.
