I get a warning in Xcode 3.0 in my C Carbon app which is "warning:
initialization from incompatible pointer type". This warning can be dealt
properly by casting the pointer. This is all great, but I would actually
prefer this warning be an error, so that I am required to cast the pointer
assignment, and I do not want to open up a whole series of other warnings
and errors in the process.

Just google "gcc warning to error". First hit: the gcc docs! :)

-Werror=
Make the specified warning into an error. The specifier for a warning is
appended, for example -Werror=switch turns the warnings controlled by -
Wswitch into errors. [...]

That's half his answer. The other half is "what flag controls incompatible pointer type conversions?"


The answer is -Wpedantic, and there's a special switch specifically to turn pedantic warnings into errors: -Wpedantic-errors. Unfortunately it doesn't satisfy the OP's requirement of not turning other warnings into errors; it will flag all the pedantic warnings, which are numerous and, well, pedantic.
