I agree with that; however that still depends on the ratio of real bugs
vs "noise". While it's hard to estimate for future code, the existing
code base can be an indication...
One little twist here is that if I end up going through all the
current warnings to clean them up then once I know that ratio I'll
have already done all the cleanup work, so whatever the bugs/noise
ratio turns out to be, all the work will already be done and then
(from my point of view) we might as well do it ;-)
More seriously; I'll try and sift through the pile I have at the
moment and pick out those that look like real bugs, then we can look
at that and see if it's worth-while...
In any case, even if there are only very few real bugs (or even none)
I'm still full willing to do the work to help us protect against
future bugs.
