Until some sort of mmap is implemented, I doubt we can do much better than this. By marking all the generated functions MAYBE_UNUSED, we're actually suppressing more warnings than intended. Maybe we can avoid it and somehow find a way to mark only those functions that are really unused? Perhaps an extra parameter in obj_pool_gen?
