GCC has a -Werror option causing warnings to be promoted to fatal errors which
I (and my organization) find very useful. As a matter of policy we always
build with -Werror on and while this, obviously, is painful to start with it
leads to a much calmer working environment once cruising altitude is reached.
We find new issues much quicker since new warnings aren't interspersed with
hundreds of pre-existing ones.
I've been observing some GNU make warnings (introduced by a co-worker :-) in a
local build here for a while now:
warning: overriding recipe for target ...
warning: ignoring old recipe for target ...
Which made me think "wouldn't it be nice if there was a -Werror equivalent for
make?".
