--- Comment #5 from Martin Sebor <msebor at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
Declaring the variable with attribute unused (or [[maybe_unused]]) is the
intended mechanism to suppress the warning when the variable is meant to be
declared but not otherwise referenced:
int main() {
if (int *f __attribute__ ((unused)) = foo())
return 1;
}
I agree that the warning for the test case is not just by design but desirable,
and since there are several straightforward solutions I think this report
should be resolved invalid.
