This isn't actually necessary, they just need to make their test harness a bit smarter. If gcc promotes a warning to an error then it prints "cc1: all warnings being treated as errors" If you see this message then you hit a warning (promoted to an error). If you don't see this message then you hit an actual error. A quick test shows this is true for all gcc since at least 4.4. Paul
