I am finding my working code is producing a lot of compiler warnings. The code is working OK so should I take any notice of these warnings?
I have distilled the most common ones to the test cases below: test1 says "x has no value". I've got a hazy memory that there is some issue with a function returning a value that may not be valid outside the scope of the function. Is it something like that? Although the code does run as I would expect so should I make some change just to eliminate the warning? Why does test3 produce an warning and not test2? I have commented out test3 because the "The variable % is defined but never used." warning masks out the "x has no value" warning.
