>Description:
Assuming I'm reading the current manual correctly, the
-W option is a combination of the following existing
options:

  o  -Wreturn-type

  o  -Wsign-compare

  o  -Wmissing-braces

And also:

  o  An automatic variable can be clobered by a setjmp/longjmp.

  o  An expression statement has no side effects.

  o  ``static'' doesn't come first.

  o  (x<=y ? 1 : 0) <= z} vs {x<=y<=z}

  o  A function returning ``const''.

  o  Missing initalizers for an aggregate.

  o  The -Wunused side effect.

Suggest defining -W strictly in terms of other -W options.
More -W options would need to be added.
