Thanks. This was actually extremely helpful. Because of the RETVAL errors, I'd turned off "unused variable" warnings, with the result that quite a number of unused variables crept in over time. I've gone back, turned the warning back on, and eliminated them all. The final obstacle were the "class" arguments to the "new" constructors, for which I found PERL_UNUSED_ARG.

All fixed as of commit af173bf

This can be deleted (the tests pass and the dist is built ok without them), but they can be there for a reason, e.g. for readability or as placeholder/boilerplate so I'd better ask.

*warning C4101: 'RETVAL' : unreferenced local variable *(a couple dozen times) as in lib\Marpa\R2.c(2720) : warning C4101: 'RETVAL' : unreferenced local variable

This is caused by not using void with PPCODE [1]. The warnings can be silenced by changing e.g. Marpa_Rule_ID to void in R2.xs line 2500 and (perhaps) putting Marpa_Rule_IDin a comment and the code compiles and builds and tests, but again, typed C functions can be more readable/boilerplate for future, so asking is in order.

[1] In most scenarios the void return type should be used with the PPCODE: directive.
