For example: $ cat warn1.cpp void fred(){ int n=10; double (*x)[n]; } $ g++ -c warn1.cpp -Wall warn1.cpp: In function ‘void fred()’: warn1.cpp:3:16: warning: value computed is not used [-Wunused-value] warn1.cpp:3:12: warning: unused variable ‘x’ [-Wunused-variable] The second warning ("unused variable") is to be expected of course, and is not the subject of this bug report. I don't believe the fact that x isn't used is relevant to the first warning, so code that uses x is omitted in the above example in the interests of constructing a minimal example. But to check, here is a longer example that uses x: $ cat warn2.cpp #include <stdio.h> #include <stdlib.h> #define M 10 void fred(){ int a,b,n; n=10; double (*x)[n]; x=(double(*)[n])malloc(M*n*sizeof(double)); for(a=0;a<M;a++)for(b=0;b<n;b++)x[a][b]=3; for(a=0;a<M;a++)for(b=0;b<n;b++)printf("%g\n",x[a][b]); } $ g++ -c warn2.cpp -Wall warn2.cpp: In function ‘void fred()’: warn2.cpp:8:16: warning: value computed is not used [-Wunused-value] g++ --version g++ (Ubuntu/Linaro 4.6.3-1ubuntu5) 4.6.3 ...
