See:

  http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Warning-Options.html

Useful snippet:

  "You can request many specific warnings with options
  beginning -W, for example -Wimplicit to request warnings
  on implicit declarations. Each of these specific warning
  options also has a negative form beginning -Wno- to turn
  off warnings; for example, -Wno-implicit. This manual
  lists only one of the two forms, whichever is not the
  default."
