Subject: [PATCH 1/4] main: add an argument for showing warnings as errors
Date: Tue, 13 Oct 2026 14:13:34 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261013-warn-as-errors-v1-1-ab3658758ceb@bootlin.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261013-warn-as-errors-v1-0-ab3658758ceb@bootlin.com>

Add -W/--warnings-as-errors to make it possible to turn warnings into
errors. The werror boolean should be used by UIs to turn their warnings
into errors.
