They're not really. The big issue is, though, any code in: #ifdef PACMAN_DEBUG ... #else ... #endif is not checked for warnings. For all intents and purposes, warnings should always be removed as best as possible. I, also, don't really think of "compiling in non-debug mode" as a "user task", and trying to minimize things to that point is not beneficial to either party. Warnings are always worthwhile. I've built tons of software that spams warnings at me. Hell, I've even submitted patches simply because the warnings were irritating (Torque)
