PR28901 -Wunused-variable ignores unused const initialised variables in C
12 years ago it was decided that -Wunused-variable shouldn't warn about static const variables because some code used const static char rcsid[] strings which were never used but wanted in the code anyway. But as the bug points out this hides some real bugs. These days the usage of rcsids is not very popular anymore. So this patch changes the default to warn about unused static const variables in C with -Wunused-variable. And it adds a new option -Wno-unused-const-variable to turn this warning off. For C++ this new warning is off by default, since const variables can be used as #defines in C++. New testcases for the new defaults in C and C++ are included testing the new warning and suppressing it with an unused attribute or using -Wno-unused-const-variable. gcc/ChangeLog PR c/28901 * toplev.c (check_global_declaration): Check and use warn_unused_const_variable. * doc/invoke.texi (Warning Options): Add -Wunused-const-variable.
