The problem I have with this GCC __attribute__(unused) thing is that it does not result in an error if you actually end up using the attribute (as I would expect it should). If it went that extra step I would find it more useful than doing just (void)param..., but since it doesn't, I guess it's better to stick with the solution that works on all compilers. Maybe even

#define UNUSED_PARAMETER(x) (void)(x)

as Apple's doc seems to suggest.

Thanks for all the input. It would be nice if xCode not only allow an easy-to-use configuration panel for all GCC warnings (not just some), but also if xCode would parse source code on the fly to notify of compiler-independent, completely user-defined warnings too. Jetbrains IDEA Java development environment has a very rich set of source-time user defined warnings that make coding very clean.

You also have the "unused" attribute:

That's out because I commonly have to share code with Windows compilers.


... although much less commonly now that I'm about 80% focused on iPhone
work, which makes being so even *more* joyous!


Not to mention I haven't yet figured out a way to apply
__attribute__((unused)) to an ObjC method parameter. I just get a pile of
syntax errors, or it gets applied to the function instead of the parameters.

From <http://developer.apple.com/ReleaseNotes/Cocoa/RN-ObjectiveC/index.html >:

"- (void)method:(id) __attribute__((unused)) param;"

If that doesn't work, then file a bug.
