Darn it. I was really hoping for a software tool. Really.
I was already thinking about this even before Matt Neuberg posted it.
The app or accessory should be simple, focused, and highly reconfigurable,
driven by a simple text file (XML?) or other database that lists the
checkboxes, the name, the warning-flag, the description, and the
restrictions (e.g. does or doesn't apply to GCC N.M, conflicts with other
flag named "foo", etc.). Needs some data design here: may be an excuse to
really learn Core Data.
This info would be parsed and presented in a suitable tabular format, which
was also highly reconfigurable, to make it easy to refine over time, post
personal variations, and generally improve the presentation side
orthogonally to the content/database side. If the app or accessory
connected to a reliable URL for updates, variants, etc., then its own
evolution on both configurable fronts would be trivial.
Even if it didn't script Xcode directly, all it would really need is the
ability to write a file or copy to clipboard the set of flags that one
could paste into one's project or target settings. Not as tightly
integrated, but still darn useful if one has to work with lots of flags or
changes regularly.
And no I'm not poking fun. I'm serious. I really could use such a tool,
especially if it was easier and more reliable than manually twiddling
-Wxyzzy options in Xcode's otherwise monolithic warnings settings.

Well, at least having it documented all in one place is better than having
it dribbled out across a dozen or so archived list postings.
That URL just got added to my collection of Frequently Pasted Xcode URLs.
Thanks.
