We explicitly omitted -Wunused-function when we added -Wextra, but there is no need: the current code compiles cleanly with it. And it's worth having, since it can let you know when there are cascading effects from a cleanup (e.g., deleting one function lets you delete its static helpers).
There are cases where we may need an unused function to exist, but we can handle these easily:
- macro-generated code like commit-slab; there we have the
MAYBE_UNUSED annotation to silence the compiler - conditional compilation, where we may or may not need a
static helper. These generally fall into one of two
categories:- the call should not be conditional, but rather the function body itself should be (and may just be a no-op on one side of the #if). That keeps the conditional pollution out of the main code.
- call-chains of static helpers should all be in the
same #if block, so they are all-or-nothing And if there's some case that doesn't cover, we still
have MAYBE_UNUSED as a fallback.Signed-off-by: Jeff King <peff@peff.net> --- config.mak.dev | 1 - 1 file changed, 1 deletion(-)
