Re: Compilation with gtkmm gives a lot of warnings

[Jonas Platte <jonasplatte gmail com>]

There's a simple fix for that: Don't use -Weffc++. The C++ standard
library g++ uses (I think it's called libstdc++) doesn't even pass
without, or with only a few warnings when having that flag enabled. For
example, it warns you about class members that are not explicitly
initialized in each constructor of that class (which might make sense
for pointers and maybe primitive types, but almost never for objects).

If you want to get more warnings about possible problems than you get
with "-Wall", use "-Wall -Wextra -pedantic". If you think your compiler
could still detect more potential problems, the best thing to do IMHO is
copy-pasting a list of warning flags from a list like this[1].
