No, this is plain wrong. Redefinition of a struct is an error in C and C++

~$cat foo.c
struct foo {
        int i;
};

struct foo {
        char* v;
};

~$gcc foo.c -o foo
foo.c:5:8: error: redefinition of 'struct foo'
foo.c:1:8: note: originally defined here

-Wall enables some more warnings and has nothing to do with errors at all.
-Werror is the switch that turns warnings into errors.
