--- 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.
