uv_type: supress `-Werror=unused` compiler error #296

Closed aloisklink closed 1 year ago

aloisklink commented 1 year ago

The uv_type() constructor does not use its token parameter, which causes a -Werror=unused compiler error on GCC (and probably on other compilers too).

~Luckily, C++17 adds the [[maybe_unused]] attribute that all standards compliant compilers will support to hide unused errors.~ Removed, see https://github.com/skypjack/uvw/pull/296#issuecomment-1686169140.

This fixes the error reported in https://github.com/skypjack/uvw/issues/294#issuecomment-1683625763, but I didn't want to add a Fixes: #294 into my commit or PR, since it seems like that issue is more about disabling all potential warnings using CMake, not just this single error.

Oh, well, since the parameter name is the same of the type, I'd just drop the first one. As in:

explicit uv_type(loop::token, std::shared_ptr<loop> ref) noexcept

Rather than:

explicit uv_type([[maybe_unused]] loop::token token, std::shared_ptr<loop> ref) noexcept

That makes sense! You only really need [[maybe_unused]] if you need to give the parameter a name (e.g. for Doxygen). I've fixed this in https://github.com/skypjack/uvw/pull/296/commits/619bf5d9a0fa6cfa3174ef1ec879e2790b13c5a9, and I've updated the commit/PR description to remove any references to [[maybe_unused]].

Thank you (and sorry for the late reply, I'm out of home).

No worries! 2 days isn't really a late reply! I might take a while to reply too, since although we're generally allowed to submit patches to open-source, we're only allowed to do it in our personal time!
