Description Darin Adler 2009-01-15 11:39:59 PST
I played around with some more compiler warnings we can turn on the Mac build. I'll attach my patch.

All I have to do is:

    1) Check that all these warnings and warning options work OK in the older version of the compiler we still use to build on Tiger.

    2) Check that none of these warning switches is redundant. Some of these warnings might already be on as a side effect of -Wall or -W or one of the Xcode warning options.

And then this could probably be landed any time. The elephant in the room, though, is -Woverloaded-virtual.

Also, we could use -Wextra instead of -W if we check that it's supported in all the versions of gcc we need to support.

One thing I noticed in the WIP patch is that you added -Wnewline-eof to WARNING_CFLAGS_BASE.  It'd be preferable to just set GCC_WARN_ABOUT_MISSING_NEWLINE = YES instead.

GCC_WARN_ABOUT_MISSING_NEWLINE = YES is already set, but for some reason -Wnewline-eof was *not* being passed in to the compiler.

My mistake. I think this was already set and already working.

r=me.  Are we going to turn these warnings on in WebKit as well?

Well, WebKit is not yet ready for uninitialized-parameter -- since it's Objective-C, there are a *lot* of those. But I did a diff on JavaScriptCore vs. WebCore and WebCore vs. WebKit to see if there were any interesting differences. I found a few that I want to talk to you about.
