Hi
This patch fixes a compiler warnings in the mbox code with recent

We should avoid this for time-sensitive code. It should be tagged with
__attribute__((unused)) (aka CYGBLD_ATTRIB_UNUSED) instead. In fact all
uninitialised variable warnings should be treated this way.
Unfortunately, that does not work:
/home/lunn/eCos/anoncvs-clean/packages/kernel/current/src/sync/mbox.cxx: In member function 'void* Cyg_Mbox::get()':
/home/lunn/eCos/anoncvs-clean/packages/kernel/current/src/sync/mbox.cxx:113: warning: 'used' attribute ignored
/home/lunn/eCos/anoncvs-clean/packages/kernel/current/src/sync/mbox.cxx:113: warning: 'p' may be used uninitialized in this
when compiling:
void *
Cyg_Mbox::get()
{
void * CYGBLD_ATTRIB_USED p;
if ( ! m.get( p ) )
return NULL;
return p;
}
I also tried the CYGBLD_ATTRIB_USED in other positions on the line and
nothing works.
