For completeness, please note that `-Wall` does not enable **all* warnings, GCC has additional warnings, that might be useful to spot other bugs.

Below is an excerpt from my CMake scripts.

I did not check recent GCC releases, they probably include even more warnings.

Personally I'd use as many of them when `--enable-warnings`.

Liviu
