I had the same experience while I was working at Sonardyne. It was truly scary seeing how many warnings we had across the entire solution. Unsure | :~

I've learnt a great deal from looking at the warnings produced by my own (and other people's!) code, and I can say without any doubt that I'm a far better developer for it. Cool | :cool:

Every couple of months now I tighten up our warning policy a little and go back over the code in our current project to eradicate any warnings that doing so uncovered. In the course of doing so, I've found some real howlers at times! Blush | :O
