I have yet to work on a code base where this is actually true. We have some 3.5Mio LOC and about 30k warnings... We have many bugs and tried to address this but the business does not warrant the resources as the product is "good enough"

What is your real world experience in this regard?

Yep, happens in many places I have worked in. When used with lint tools and metric measuring tools, the "problem" compounds exponentially because it trigger other warnings or risks that are not picked up the compiler.

I have never compiled a large application that did not have a ton of warnings. So I guess they are in good company at least.
