Hi,

I never hit this build warning:

# make
...
Building lib
     [LTDEP]
     [CC] write_log.lo
     [LD]
Building ltp
     [CC]    doio
     [CC]    fsstress
...

Besides that ...

Could you share me the info of your build environment? Such as OS, kernel, gcc version. I'd like to find out what wrong with mine.

Thanks,
Ruan.



Mostly are calused by not using the return value of read()/write()/...
Ignore this warning by adding `-Wno-unused-result` to CCFLAGS.  This
won't cause other problem but make the log clean.

I'm not an expert of gcc. From the manual of gcc, it says:

        -Wno-unused-result
            Do not warn if a caller of a function marked with attribute "warn_unused_result" does not use its return value. The default is -Wunused-result.

Looks like the "-Wno-unused-result" works for "a function marked with
attribute warn_unused_result", e.g.

     int __attribute__((warn_unused_result)) foo(void)

I think fstests doesn't use that attribute.

Thanks,
Zorro
