Howto turn one specific warning into an error

[Marcel Loose]

Hi all,

I wonder whether it is possible to turn one specific compiler warning into
an error. The reason I ask this is that I really would like to make the
compiler issue an error when it flags the following warning:

  warning: cannot pass objects of non-POD type ...

Usually, this warning means big trouble. In my case it meant that a string
was passed as a const char*, which ultimately ended in a segmentation fault.
The problem is that this warning passes un-noticed when programs are built
automatically (e.g. through make). Everything seems fine, until you run into
a segfault.

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Kind regards,
