Here it is: configure:4090: checking for uint64_t configure:4090: g++ -c -g -O0 -Wall -W conftest.c >&5 conftest.c: In function 'int main()': conftest.c:57:12: warning: variable 'test_array' set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-variable] configure:4090: $? = 0 configure:4090: result: yes This is autoconf 2.68, BTW.
