From: David Rientjes Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2017 20:36:24 +0000 (-0700) Subject: compiler, clang: suppress warning for unused static inline functions X-Git-Tag: v4.12-rc5~35 X-Git-Url: https://git.karo-electronics.de/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=abb2ea7dfd82451d85ce669b811310c05ab5ca46;p=karo-tx-linux.git compiler, clang: suppress warning for unused static inline functions GCC explicitly does not warn for unused static inline functions for -Wunused-function. The manual states: Warn whenever a static function is declared but not defined or a non-inline static function is unused. Clang does warn for static inline functions that are unused. It turns out that suppressing the warnings avoids potentially complex #ifdef directives, which also reduces LOC. Suppress the warning for clang.
