Doesn't seem to make sense, does it?

Well, warnings aren't considered important enough to stop the build. For example, uninitialized variables will trip the warning flags, but the build will proceed nonetheless. Warnings are one of those things that the compiler is just telling you about, but assumes you know what you're doing, so it lets you continue. Kinda like Igor noticing that the Mad Scientist just placed a brain in a jar of applesauce. He might mention it, but isn't about to go yank it out of the jar on the assumption that his boss might have done something foolish.

A less applesaucian example would be passing a generic pointer to fprintf/sprintf/printf as a string argument without casting it as such first.

If I "clean" my project, build and get several "warnings," then build again, is it normal to then get "Build Succeeded"? If so, why?
