The following code, when run through lint (1) elicits no complaints
about varx being unused and (2) complains that func2 returns a value
that is always ignored. These all seem to be errors on lint's behalf.
Here is the output of lint:
==============
name defined but never used
func1 fluff.c(2)
function returns value which is always ignored
getpid
For comparison, here is the output from lint on a SPARCstation running
SunOS 4.1:
fluff.c(4): warning: varx unused in function func1
func1 defined( fluff.c(2) ), but never used
Does anybody know if there is a better lint available from the folks
in Atlanta or what the status is on getting this fixed?
void
func1() {
extern int getpid();
int varx;
(void) getpid();
}
