Unless you compile the following as C++ code:

int main(void)
{
  char s1[4], s2[4] = "foo";
  
  s1 = s2; /* illegal */
  
  return 0;
}

I don't know if this is bug or feature.  

The gcc docs don't say much about -pedantic-errors being the default.
I suspect only the diagnostics made compulsory by the C++ standard are
on by default, others require -pedantic or -pedantic-errors.
