[cfe-users] -Wunused-local-typedef

[Barnes, Peter D.]

Hello Folks,

We’ve run in to a Clang warning very similar to what was fixed in r221765, with clang reporting an unused typedef:

    typedef void (*FUNCTION)(void);
    
    void foo (FUNCTION f);

The typedef is obviously used, but get’s reported as:

>> $ clang --version
>> Debian clang version 3.6.2-+rc1-1~exp1 (tags/RELEASE_362/rc1) (based on
>> LLVM 3.6.2)
>> Target: x86_64-pc-linux-gnu
>> Thread model: posix
>> ...
>> ...

>> ./ns3/make-event.h:605:20: error: unused typedef 'F'
>> [-Werror,-Wunused-local-typedef]
>>     typedef void (*F)(U1, U2, U3, U4);
>>                    ^
>> 1 error generated.


You can browse source of this specific error instance here:
https://www.nsnam.org/docs/doxygen/make-event_8h_source.html#l00599

Can you confirm that this is a clang bug?  Or our misunderstanding?

I haven’t found anything relevant on the tracker...

Thanks,
Peter
