[cfe-commits] [PATCH] Fix analysis based warnings so that all warnings are emitted with -Werror.

[Delesley Hutchins]

I'm happy with uncompilable.  It's not quite accurate; there are some
errors that are technically compilable, but treated as errors for
other reasons, but it captures the spirit of what I'm trying to do,
and I don't have a better name.  Anybody else want to weigh in?
