vl_prog_cc_warnings

Enables a reasonable set of warnings for the C compiler. Optionally, if the first argument is nonempty, turns on flags which enforce and/or enable proper ANSI C if such are known with the compiler used.

Currently this macro knows about GCC, Solaris C compiler, Digital Unix C compiler, C for AIX Compiler, HP-UX C compiler, IRIX C compiler, NEC SX-5 (Super-UX 10) C compiler, and Cray J90 (Unicos 10.0.0.8) C compiler.

      dnl Most compilers print some kind of a version string with some command
      dnl line options (often "-V").  The version string should be checked
      dnl before doing a test compilation run with compiler-specific flags.
      dnl This is because some compilers (like the Cray compiler) only
      dnl produce a warning message for unknown flags instead of returning
      dnl an error, resulting in a false positive.  Also, compilers may do
      dnl erratic things when invoked with flags meant for a different
      dnl compiler.
