Just out of curiosity, did you find a valid case for enabling this warning or were you trying various combinations ? I'm asking because I've never seen it enabled anywhere given that it's probably the most useless and unusable warning: as soon as you're dealing with function pointers, you start to have multiple functions with a similar prototype, some of which just don't need certain arguments, and the only way to shut the warning is to significantly uglify the code. If really needed, I'm wondering if instead we shouldn't have an "no_syscall*" set of macros, that would have the same signature as my_syscall* to just consume all args in the same order and return -ENOSYS. E.g, consider the following: @@ -934,6 +960,11 @@ int sys_select(int nfds, fd_set *rfds, fd_set *wfds, fd_set *efds, struct timeva #endif return my_syscall5(__NR__newselect, nfds, rfds, wfds, efds, timeout); #else + (void)nfds; + (void)rfds; + (void)wfds; + (void)efds; + (void)timeout; return -ENOSYS; #endif It would become: @@ -934,6 +960,11 @@ int sys_select(int nfds, fd_set *rfds, fd_set *wfds, fd_set *efds, struct timeva #endif return my_syscall5(__NR__newselect, nfds, rfds, wfds, efds, timeout); #else + return no_syscall5(nfds, rfds, wfds, efds, timeout); - return -ENOSYS; #endif What do you think ?
