-Werror is fine for developers, but for distros it's a huge pain. https://flameeyes.blog/2009/02/25/future-proof-your-code-dont-use-werror/ With every new version of GCC, not only does the set of warnings on by default change but also its ability to detect warnings (i.e., the same -Wflag is now more effective). Upgrading GCC already causes lots of churn, and having to immediately deal with -Werror fall out just makes this more difficult. _______________________________________________ xorg-devel@lists.x.org: X.Org development Archives: http://lists.x.org/archives/xorg-devel Info: https://lists.x.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg-devel
