Well, I also believed so, but after using a commercial program (which
appears to be advertised with some entertaining programming quizes),
I have found 'XXXXlint' to be very useful. It warns on tons of warnings,
a lot more than by turning on all gcc's warning flags.

If only we could get people understand that warnings are essential in
the hunt for bugs...

PKE.
