Making GCC and Other C++ Compilers Very Strict

Question

I\'m working on a large collaborative C++ project that is both developed and run on various flavors of Linux, OS X and Windows. We compile across these platforms with GCC, Visua

Answer 1

As well as -pendantic you should also provide a -std switch. If you need a stricter compile then you should know what standard you are trying to conform to. Typically for current c++ this would be -std=c++98. ( -ansi performs a similar function in C++ mode, but -std= is more explicit.)
