There are varying levels of quality in the software world. For
example, Linus is more than happy to turn off warnings so he can
ignore conversion problems [1]; while Microsoft has an SDLC and wants
a clean compile using /W4 /Wall and integration of platform security
features such as /GS, /NXCOMPAT, /SafeSEH and /dynamicbase.

I can help you with feedback under Visual Studio and the SDLC, but I
need to know: which is your poison?
