Oh, that makes warnings errors and does not mean "ignore errors". I'm not too familiar with compiler flags. You could do some mental gymnastics to argue that the unused variable causes the compiler to exit and thus the code is not functioning and thus the unused variable is not a warning but an error :^)

It's a pretty standard flag in basically all compiled languages, just goes by a different name. -werror in C, -Werror in Java, TreatWarningsAsErrors in C#, etc.
