But when the answer argues that they are conformant because in the particular case a warning is valid for establishing conformance, then I cannot understand it. We might as well say that any compiler which issues warnings whenever a compiler error should occur, simply because it can continue compiling, is a valid C or C++ conformant compiler.
It is. That's what the standard says. Whether a diagnostic starts with the word "error" or the word "warning" is irrelevant for conformance.
