Improved tip of the day, use -Wall in g[+c]{2}.

Seriously, programming without turning *all* of your compiler's
warnings on is like just using one pedal on a push-bike; you can get
places, just not very efficiently.

Sometimes the compiler gets confused, but most of the time you are the
one who is confused.

* Perl:

use strict;
use warnings;

or command-line option: -w

* gcc / g++

Command-line option: -Wall


Python and Ruby hackers, how do you do this?
