The “broken warnings theory” is a fictional theory of the norm-setting and signaling effect of coding practices and bug-checking techniques in 3rd party libraries on new bugs and design anti-patterns. The theory states that maintaining and monitoring warning levels to prevent small problems such as “signed/unsigned mismatch”,

As you may know, Visual Studio now supports building Android and iOS applications using Clang. We realize the need of our users to write cross-platform apps and we know that C++ offers massive benefits in the cross-platform arena.
