node (gcc.info)Function Attributes says:
`unused'
This attribute, attached to a function, means that the function is
meant to be possibly unused. GCC will not produce a warning for
this function. GNU C++ does not currently support this attribute
as definitions without parameters are valid in C++.
Does that last sentence make any sense at all?
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
Here's a possible rewriting which may be clearer overall:
`unused'
GCC -Wunused will warn about functions it finds that
are not used. Attaching this attribute to a function
will disable the warning for that function.
