For now I think being bug-to-bug compatible and annotating the opt as UNUSED is good, but as a follow-up, we could make the caller: (1) point &checkout_stage with opt->value; (2) make to_tempfile to tristate <unspecified, false, true> by initializing it to -1; (3) adjust to_tempfile that is still <unspecified> after parse_options() returns, according to the value in checkout_stage. and then this can follow the "opt->value points at the variable that is affected" pattern. > diff --git a/builtin/fetch.c b/builtin/fetch.c > index 8f93529505..cd2afe33e5 100644 > --- a/builtin/fetch.c > +++ b/builtin/fetch.c > @@ -168,7 +168,8 @@ static int git_fetch_config(const char *k, const char *v, > return git_default_config(k, v, ctx, cb); > } > > -static int parse_refmap_arg(const struct option *opt, const char *arg, int unset) > +static int parse_refmap_arg(const struct option *opt UNUSED, > + const char *arg, int unset) > { > BUG_ON_OPT_NEG(unset); Can't this just point opt->value at the global &refmap? Obviously not a huge deal, as we could have taken the "annotate as UNUSED" approach for all the functions in [3/8]. > diff --git a/builtin/gc.c b/builtin/gc.c > index 369bd43fb2..b842349d86 100644 > --- a/builtin/gc.c > +++ b/builtin/gc.c > @@ -1403,7 +1403,7 @@ static void initialize_task_config(int schedule) > strbuf_release(&config_name); > } > > -static int task_option_parse(const struct option *opt, > +static int task_option_parse(const struct option *opt UNUSED, > const char *arg, int unset) > { > int i, num_selected = 0; The TASK__COUNT constant is very closely tied to the task[] array and it is not worth passing the address of the array in opt->value. The loss of clarity inside the callback funtion is a more serious downside than the value on the caller side to document what array is being modified. So I agree this is a good change. > diff --git a/builtin/update-index.c b/builtin/update-index.c > index aee3cb8cbd..59acae3336 100644 > --- a/builtin/update-index.c > +++ b/builtin/update-index.c > @@ -856,7 +856,7 @@ static int chmod_callback(const struct option *opt, > return 0; > } > > -static int resolve_undo_clear_callback(const struct option *opt, > +static int resolve_undo_clear_callback(const struct option *opt UNUSED, > const char *arg, int unset) > { > BUG_ON_OPT_NEG(unset); > @@ -890,7 +890,7 @@ static int parse_new_style_cacheinfo(const char *arg, > } > > static enum parse_opt_result cacheinfo_callback( > - struct parse_opt_ctx_t *ctx, const struct option *opt, > + struct parse_opt_ctx_t *ctx, const struct option *opt UNUSED, > const char *arg, int unset) > { > struct object_id oid; These two refuses to take "arg" and the callback mechanism is used purely to trigger the side effect of the function, not as a part of parsing something for its "value", so I agree that these UNUSED annotations reflect the reality very well. Thanks.
