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:

Visual Studio:
Quote:
warning CS0168: The variable '_ex' is declared but never used
Everybody else: The F! Me: ... So what, i need the Exception message!
if(!string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(_signature))
{
MessageBox.Show("This is my signature: " + Environment.NewLine + _signature);
}
else
{
MessageBox.Show("404-Signature not found");
}This issue came up elsewhere in the Lounge[^] a couple of weeks or so ago and the response referred to using the
$exceptionvariable in Watch, without the need to define an exception in thecatchstatement: 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.

warnings from the compiler only proves to me the compiler doesn't understand my code.

It was already broken.

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.
Would you still prefer Delphi over .Net ?

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

set warnings as errors. :thumbsup::thumbsup:

Warnings have the tendency to hide errors. John Carmack wrote a pretty good article a few years ago about the best way to think of and treat warnings.

While prototyping, who cares. When making the code production-ready, same as errors.

We ignore all warnings and catch bugs in user alpha testing. Of course.

Compiler warnings? 0.0 max. Warnings from hysterical Code Nazi tools? Who cares?

If the compiler doesn't understand your code, what chance do your co-workers stand...? :-)

We manage them. Warnings which disturb us (coding-style variances those warn us of, mostly) get disabled by the ruleset, merging anything is only possible with zero warnings. Too often have warnings led to bugs, and managing them to get only those which add value for our team has suited us well.
I only have a signature in order to let @DalekDave follow my posts.
