I would like to have my warnings set to the highest level using Microsoft Visual C++ compiler. Similar to using -pedantic on gcc. What compiler switches do you use to have the most warnings enabled?

I would like to have my warnings set to the highest level using Microsoft Visual C++ compiler. Similar to using -pedantic on gcc. What compiler switches do you use to have the most warnings enabled?
The highest warning level on Visual C++ is /Wall. The warning level can also be set numerically with /W0, /W1, … /W4 to generate increasing levels of warnings.
The compiler will also check for 64 bit portability issues with /Wp64.
And you can tell it to treat warnings as errors with /WX
Visual C++ doesn’t seem to have an real equivalent to -pedantic – which is asking gcc to report all warnings required to be reported by the ISO C and C++ standards.
