From: Nick Terrell <terrelln@xxxxxx> The variable `litLengthSum` is only used by an `assert()`, so when asserts are disabled the compiler doesn't see any usage and warns. This issue is already fixed upstream by PR #2838 [0]. It was reported by the Kernel test robot in [1]. Another approach would be to change zstd's disabled `assert()` definition to use the argument in a disabled branch, instead of ignoring the argument. I've avoided this approach because there are some small changes necessary to get zstd to build, and I would want to thoroughly re-test for performance, since that is slightly changing the code in every function in zstd. It seems like a trivial change, but some functions are pretty sensitive to small changes. However, I think it is a valid approach that I would like to see upstream take, so I've opened Issue #2868 to attempt this upstream.
