modocache added a comment. This LGTM! Looks like the last time this variable was touched was in 2010 as part of a mechanical renaming, https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/a771f46c82d7. At that point it was used, as a parameter to the static function `MakeObjCStringLiteralFixItHint`. That static function was later renamed on Dec 17 2013 https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/bd714e9bb12, to `ConversionToObjCStringLiteralCheck`, and on the following day Dec 18 2013 in https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/commit/283bf895066 the signature was changed to no longer take a `FixitHint` parameter. The author must not have removed this variable at that point because technically it is still referenced, but as you point out, it's never mutated in a way that gives the hint a value.
