Network security
Aim to write no more than ~750 words per question 9. When compiling software we often recommend turning on as many warn- ings as possible (e.g. --Wall in GCC) and treating warnings as errors (e.g. --Werror in GCC) to help catch security issues. Very few OSS actu- ally mandate this from the compilers when building system software, how- ever. Debate the benefits and disadvatages of mandating using --Wall and --Wextra (or equivalents) when compiling software for an OS and justify your viewpoint.
