Public bug reported:
Some functions that have warn-unused-result cannot be used in a way
described in http://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc-4.4.1/gcc/Warning-
Options.html
For example this line (where STDOUT_FILENO==0 and FLAG_EXIT_NOW is defined as
some string):
(void) write(STDOUT_FILENO, FLAG_EXIT_NOW, sizeof FLAG_EXIT_NOW - 1);
compiled with:
cc -g -O -W -Wall -Wno-system-headers -Werror -Wunused-parameter
-Wstrict-prototypes -Wmissing-prototypes -Wpointer-arith -Wreturn-type
-Wcast-qual -Wwrite-strings -Wswitch -Wshadow -Wcast-align -Wunused-
parameter -Wchar-subscripts -Winline -Wnested-externs -Wredundant-decls
-c ....
will report "error: ignoring return value of ‘write’, declared with
attribute warn_unused_result". According to gcc docs, casting to (void)
should prevent that.
