--- Comment #2 from Max TenEyck Woodbury <mtewoodbury at gmail dot com> ---
The practice is very common in C (and the GCC code) and is NOT peculiar to C++.
The creation of temporary values that are never used is a waste of resources
and, even when removed by the optimizer, represent an, admittedly minor,
defect.
This may be a minor point but it is NOT controversial. Also, it is not really
a
matter of style. Your lack of insight on this is somewhat disturbing. Marking
the argument as INVALID is just plain wrong. It should be left open to provide
a reference for patches that address this problem.
