- Subject: [RFC] Use fputc in place of putc to avoid -Wunused-value warning.
Hello,
Currently, bfd does not compile with -Wunused-value because
the following code:
val = putc ('\n', f);
gets expanded into some code that triggers a warning:
warning: value computed is not used [-Wunused-value]
This is because putc is implemented as a macro...
>#define putc(__x, __p) (((!((__p)->_flag & 0xC000)) && \
> ((__p)->_flag = ((__p)->_flag & 0x3FFF) | 0x8000)),\
> (--(__p)->_cnt < 0 ? \
> __flsbuf((unsigned char) (__x), (__p)) : \
> (int) (*(__p)->_ptr++ = (unsigned char) (__x))))
It's the first part, before the coma operator, which triggers
the unused-value warning.
I am not sure how we want to avoid this sort of issue, whether
in a general way, or just dealing with each instance. There is
currently only one warning on AIX, and that is the one call to putc
in bfd.c. One could do:
(fputc) ('\n', stderr);
Or else we could simply use fputc in this case.
bfd/ChangeLog:
* bfd.c (_bfd_default_error_handler): Replace use of putc
by fputc. Add comment explaining why.
Thoughts?
Thank you,
