Subject: [PATCH] config.mak.dev: enable -Wunused-function
Date: Thu, 18 Oct 2018 03:05:22 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181018070522.GA29499@sigill.intra.peff.net> (raw)

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.
