Tools already give an error for issues they consider non-harmless, and one can selectively turn additional warnings into errors for issues one considers non-harmless. Passing --fatal-warnings to the linker is similar to passing -Werror to the compiler: A non-default option that can be very useful in an upstream CI to catch new warnings, but in a distribution it breaks too often. For compiler warnings extra-cmake-modules already does this selectively with "-Werror=return-type -Werror=init-self -Werror=undef". > Med vänliga hälsningar > > Patrick Franz cu Adrian
