--- Comment #5 from Vincent Lefèvre <vincent-gcc at vinc17 dot net> --- FYI, Clang 16 does not warn either on the testcases provided in comment 0 (bug report). But contrary to GCC (tested with master r14-1713-g6631fe419c6 - Debian gcc-snapshot package 20230613-1), Clang 15 and 16 both warn on f and g below: int h (void); void f (void) { int i = h (); i++; } void g (void) { for (int i = 0 ;; i++) if (h ()) break; } zira:~> clang-15 -c -Wunused-but-set-variable warn-inc.c warn-inc.c:5:7: warning: variable 'i' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable] int i = h (); ^ warn-inc.c:11:12: warning: variable 'i' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable] for (int i = 0 ;; i++) ^ 2 warnings generated. Thanks to this detection, a test with Clang 16 found two issues in GNU MPFR (one cosmetic about a useless loop variable and one important in the testsuite). So it is useful to consider such particular cases.
