-Wall ain't all

int unused_variable = 0;

Dude wtf is your problem don’t just leave things lying about there don’t you know how to code I mean what the- I don’t go to your house and leave shit on the floor and just—

int _unused_variable = 0;

Ok. We cool.

sometimes you need an unused variable. some uses in rust:

rs

    
// destructuring
let (width, _height) = get_dimensions();

// trait implementations (i couldnt think of a better example for this)
impl Into for AlwaysZero {
    fn into(_value: Self) -> {
        return 0;
    }
}

// some types (eg. Result) must be 'used'
// assigned to a variable if we dont care about the return value
let _ = returns_result("foo");

mfw my face when the go compiler fucking screams at me because I dared to declare a variable and not use it

IF THIS IS INTENTIONAL PUT AN UNDERSCORE BEFORE THE VARIABLE NAME YOU ABSOLUTE FUCKING MORON
- didn’t know the go compiler’s name was steeve
"Don't worry too much about your loops bro, I am the apex of computer science research, I know every optimization in the book." Ok want to compile this? "Is that... An unused variable?!? WHAT THE FUCK ARE WE GOING TO DO GOD IS DEAD"
- honestly my dumb ass will choose for i in list: over for i := range slice { every single time. I’m ugly and I’m proud!

I am guilty of passing Exception variables into try catches and not using them

        catch(error) {
      // todo
    }

Function is changing a global variable, the global variable is checked after every call to the function. That's your return value.

I spent 3 hours debugging the serialization code to find out it the crash was because the function didn't have a return statement.
- Sorry, cannot relate; Everything is a boolean when you're using JavaScript.
That's..... Terrible. Truly the stuff of nightmares!
OOP methods?

laughs in golang

I would love to use golang for this but it’s standard library alone is bigger than the amount of available RAM.
- Interesting, since golang only includes the parts of the stdlib that are used in the executable binary.
- BTW: what are you using instead to get small binaries/scripts?

Idk, mb they expected you to modify smth passed by reference/pointer, and the compiler's too busy to care :)

Ok, you are certainly in one of those languages where plenty of your functions shouldn't return a value, and you won't ever let the compiler know that.

On all of the other languages, it's an error, not even a warning.

It's C++ and it just causes a SIGILL.
