              I used to go through the code and clean those out but then I decided life was too short. When I did Delphi I would sometimes get a variable not initialized warning but when I initialized it I would get a value assigned but never used warning if the variable was in a try..except block.

                  Depends on the code, sometimes I am intending to do something a bit odd.

                      In my own code, I like to clean them all up. When compiling packaged software, say the latest version of gcc, I just do the configure/make/make install and ignore the warnings. ISTR a story about the linux kernel, long ago, where some helpful individual went through the code and cleaned up all the warnings. Which was great, until you tried to compile it for something other than an X86 - in which case either the build failed or the kernel broke. :doh:

                        This issue came up elsewhere in the Lounge[^] a couple of weeks or so ago and the response referred to using the $exception variable in Watch, without the need to define an exception in the catch statement: StackOverflow[^]

                            I'm very OCD about warnings and even add checking for a dozen more obscure ones. I then pass my code through various analyzers. Many times, seemingly trivial warnings exposed more serious logical errors.

                                  It was already broken.

                                        Compiler warnings fail our build.  If we really need to ignore a specific warning, we disable it. /ravi
