However, the main point is that warnings that are left in will be seen by everyone who compiles the software, not only by the one who wrote the code. In the end, this will lead to the situation we mostly have in C now, where everyone expects to see some warnings when compiling something and almost nobody cares about them. We could just as well turn them all off then.
To me, that is a sign of bug-ridden C code.
Sorry, what's your point? Last time you said: "Thus the Pascal programmer should be prepared to evaluate and accept warnings on compilation." Now you say "[getting lots of warnings is] a sign of bug-ridden C code." Do you want us to get to the same situation where C already is?
