Posting this in case somebody else falls down the same rabbit hole I did. I've compiled vim with gcc -Wextra for many years, uncommenting a line in the distributed Makefile to enable this and a few other strict warnings. Yesterday upon getting the latest source and compiling I got lots, 44, of -Wcast-function-type warnings. The warnings are sort of valid; in the case I looked at there's a mismatch of the number of parameters in a function pointer, but the missing one is not used anyway.
One of the cases is in GTK code, which we're unlikely to get changed, so I suppose we should just ignore these warnings. Other projects are doing this. So, if one wants to use -Wextra, I suggest adding -Wno-cast-function-type as well. Maybe the comment line in the Makefile could be changed.
