Sometimes you are tired and you don't want to check, if something is good  
or bad. For me compiler is the best friend (in programming ;-)) and always  
set this settings:

Try search all convertions with c++ style and all with c style. What, do  
you think, is easier to find all of them?

-Wall -Wextra -pedantic -g -pg

It is not little automation, but great help ;-)

if you make a mistake f.e

if (a = 1) gcc will you ask, if really means it. If you are programmer,  
the common sense makes you to be open for all suggestions of compiler.
Many people thinks, that computer is evil, but computer makes exactly what  
we said (but not very often what we want ;-))
