Subject: [PATCH 0/10] dropping more unused parameters
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2020 08:27:32 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20200930122732.GA1901036@coredump.intra.peff.net> (raw)

This is the last of my series of patches to drop (or use) unused
function parameters. I've been holding on to some of these for almost 2
years, because I wanted to make sure they weren't actually bugs
(dropping unused parameters can never _introduce_ a bug, but it's a good
opportunity to investigate whether the parameter _should_ have been
used). I'm still not entirely convinced that patch 10 isn't actually a
bug, but I wasn't able to puzzle it out either way, and it didn't seem
worth holding up the topic any longer.

After this lands, I have a follow-on series that annotates cases where
we can't drop parameters (e.g., functions which have to conform to a
callback interface, but don't care about some of the parameters). And
then after that we can flip on -Wunused-parameters going forward. Which
I think is worth doing, as it has found some bugs (fixed in earlier
series).
