Yup, we differ. :) To me, asserts, Gremlins and compiler warnings are tools, not ends in themselves. I would certainly not want a compiler writer to dictate my coding style, so I do turn off some warnings. I also use lint, another tool, where you always turn on some warnings and turn off others. And I guess you don't use Visual C++, where some warnings are practically meant to be turned off (like long identifier names). My customers don't care about compiler warnings. All they want is (apparently) bug-free programs. They also want these programs to perform the specified tasks and to be delivered on time. If turning on a compiler warning (or tracking down an assert in the Palm OS) helps me achieve these goals, I turn it on. Otherwise, I don't. BTW, my most important customer is me. :) -- For information on using the Palm Developer Forums, or to unsubscribe, please see http://www.palmos.com/dev/support/forums/
