--- Comment #25 from Jeffrey Walton <noloader at gmail dot com> --- Jonathan, Manuel, et al - I'm putting this to bed on our side. We've re-enabled -Wall, and are moving towards -Wextra. I did come up with one more use case... The "unused parameter" warning. Typically, I just comment it out: int Foo(int /*bar*/); However, when generating documentation from sources, that's not a good strategy. I now see the program omits the parameter altogether from the markup. In the case of Crypto++, which has a lot of "interface programming" aspects, it makes for a noisy compile as objects are composed and derived. There's often no way to avoid something being unused along the inheritance chain.
