Affected rules

• A1-1-2

Description

This rule looks for compilations with no warning flags. However, it will falsely detect -Wno-* flags as if they are warning flags.

Notably, gcc is often built with -Wformat enabled by default. This can be suppressed with -Wno-format, which would cause the false negative.

Note the same issue exists with -w which suppresses all -W* flags, which is failing linux/gcc tests, and I created #688 to fix. However, this issue is, philosophically, one step further yet than that PR in terms of altering current behavior.

Example

g++ -Wno-format test.cpp
