- What does this mean? You think a "code has no effect" warning is not
- a useful feature?
-
- While it doesn't show up a lot, there have been a few times where this
- warning has quickly and automatically caught a simple coding errors
- (usually typo-related) in my programming. Isn't this exactly what warning
- messages are for?
-
- Personally, I always compile with all warnings turned on and am thankful
- for every one the compiler can generate for me.
