-pedantic is *not* a linter. -Wall does that. -pedantic just makes
sure you aren't using any constructs (like long long) that aren't
ANSI. -Wall is really the way to find bugs, including ones in
portability. You might want -pedantic just to catch non-ANSIisms, but
if you are trying to get things "clean" you want -Wall.
