Bug ID: 87806
Summary: Option -Wall should warn about unused structs,
typdefs, enums, etc
Product: gcc
Version: 8.0
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: c
Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
Reporter: Ulrich.Windl at rz dot uni-regensburg.de
Target Milestone: ---
Gcc with -Wall warns about unused static and local variables for a long time,
but it does not warn about unused typedefs, enums, structs, etc.
I see that there are specific options to enable that, but they are not by
default.
Is it due to the fact that many #include files define a lot of such (and most
of those are not used)? If so, maybe some #pragma to be used in include files
could suppress the warning then. Maybe even there are move clever ideas to
solve the problem.
BTW: With having option -Wmissing-field-initializers I could even imagine to
warn about single fields that are never used.
