They can be useful whereas other people think they are a nuisance
and just fill the screen with warning messages

These warnings are due to the developer of the source code being lazy
and not adhering to strict C programming standards, and in many cases
not using "casts" to weasel their way out of conversion from one type to 
another because of the type required by a library function.

  man gcc

  -Wall
           This enables all the warnings about constructions that some 
           users consider questionable, and that are easy to avoid (or
           modify to prevent the warning), even in conjunction with 
           macros.

 -Wextra
           This enables some extra warning flags that are not enabled by
           -Wall.

           [see the list in the manual page]
