<div dir="ltr">There are alot of compilers, but only a small number that we support building with. And really, the burden would only be on making sure that the compiler you personally build with builds warning free (which, unfortunately, even that doesn't always happen). If someone checks something in on Mac that introduces warnings on Windows with MSVC, then a Windows person would need to fix it, but I don't think that's too big of a deal (well, I don't mind anyway). The difference is just that "strive" would become "require". Sometimes you can't fix warnings for whatever reason, but you could still disable them in that case.<div>

So I don't think we should enable warnings as errors, but I do think we should strive to keep warnings down to as low a level as possible.<br>

I'm always vigilant about fixing warnings in my own code, it would be nice if everyone else had the same level of vigilance. If warnings broke the build, then I think that would be a good motivator to fix your warnings.<br>
