Having read lots of discussion and the large levels of apathy, I agree mostly. However I disagree over the best method of implementing this. Here I present (re-present) my solution 1. Ignore all -I which are targeting system directories. 2. if -fallow-header-override then ignore rule 1 but dont warn. 3. if -Wheader-override then give warning in both case 1 and 2. After all that discussion, they did convince me that -I targeting system directories is 'a bad thing(tm)' however their approach to dealing with it is very much non-userfriendly. I believe my solution fixes that. Gareth - who would rather Nicholas's method rather than nothing however. _________________________________________________________________ MSN Photos is the easiest way to share and print your photos: http://photos.msn.com/support/worldwide.aspx -- Unsubscribe info: http://cygwin.com/ml/#unsubscribe-simple Bug reporting: http://cygwin.com/bugs.html Documentation: http://cygwin.com/docs.html FAQ: http://cygwin.com/faq/
