Frankly, writing crap code has nothing to do with warnings and such.
It's like blaming the pen a author used to write a crappy book. No
amount of warning can make a someone learn good development
practices or know the language.
Looking around at the project though, some of this is historical
baggage that has more to do with "not keeping up" then anything. When
MySQL was put together originally a lot of what we take for granted
now wasn't around. You can snicker at it, call it bad... but sometimes
it just had to do with what was the convention of the time. For a lot
of the warts in the code/design I remember why they were done at the
time... not all decisions were good, but most were understandable.
