But doing so appears to be very effective. So much so that the "make check" now fails: $ gcc --version gcc (Debian 4.3.2-1.1) 4.3.2 $ make check CHK version_gen.h CC tests/testutils.o cc1: warnings being treated as errors tests/testutils.c: In function ‘sigint_handler’: tests/testutils.c:44: error: unused parameter ‘si’ tests/testutils.c:44: error: unused parameter ‘uc’ tests/testutils.c: In function ‘test_init’: tests/testutils.c:52: error: unused parameter ‘argc’ tests/testutils.c: In function ‘check_property’: tests/testutils.c:113: error: comparison between signed and unsigned tests/testutils.c:117: error: comparison between signed and unsigned make: *** [tests/testutils.o] Error 1
