+ # Currently we rely on warning-free output of a compiler
+ # before the flag to see if a flag prduces any warnings.
+ # This has a few drawbacks:
+ # - if compiler already generates warnings we filter out
+ # every single flag: bug #712488
+ # - if user actually wants to see warnings we just strip
+ # them regardless of warnings type.
+ #
+ # We can add more selective detection of no-op flags via
+ # '-Werror=ignored-optimization-argument' and similar error options
+ # similar to what we are doing with '-Qunused-arguments'.
