When I was working for decades as an Electronics & Software engineer at 
an aerospace company, I treated warnings the same as errors in the code 
I developed.  It was a matter of pride as well as quality.  That is how 
I was trained in the field.  When I compile many Linux packages today 
and watch the numerous warnings scrolling by, I wince.  For that is an 
indication of the quality of the code.  But if I need the function in 
the application I am building, I need to accept it - reluctantly and 
under protest.  I still always fix warnings in my own code.
