I have a number of functions, e.g.:
int funct1( int arg1, int arg2, int arg3 );
int funct2( int arg1, int arg2, int arg3 );
int funct3( int arg1, int arg2, int arg3 );
that are called via pointers in a table, with the
same parameters regardless of the particular
function.
In some of the functions, one or more of the
parameters are unused. This can result in the
compiler warning that such and such a parameter
is unused.
I can silence the compiler by adding a statement
like:
arg2 = arg2;
to each affected function, but that seems sort of
clumsy.
Is there an "approved" way of dealing with this
which will work on all or (most all) C compilers
and OSes?
Thanks for your help.

Then you get a warning that the value of arg2 is never
used. Ideally, turn off all these stupid warnings. But on
compilers where that isn't possible, I do this:
NOT_USED(arg2);
and then in a piece of header file specific to that compiler,
define something that will work for that compiler and not
produce a warning. Here's some options from compilers
I use:
#define NOT_USED(x) ( (void)(x) )
#define NOT_USED(x) ( *(volatile typeof(x) *)&(x) = (x); )

Extensions ARE useful!
This is a wonderful application of typeof. (Also supported
by a certain windows compiler I know) :-)

*Some* compilers will recognize the non-standard
/* ARGSUSED */
comment immediately above the function definition:
/* ARGSUSED */
int funct1( int arg1, int arg2, int arg3 ) {
/* Body of the function here */
}
Again, this is NOT standard, but you could always try it
and see if your compiler shuts up.

(void) arg1;
Simple, Standard, likely to work on any compiler that complains about
unused parameters.

In the function definition, I usually do (for unused arg2 and arg3):
int funct1(int arg1, int /*arg2*/, int /*arg3*/)
{
/* ... */
}
....or leave away the parameter name.

Or just ignore them!!
Compilers can generate warnings for any reason they like.
It is futile wasting time trying to write code that doesn't issue
any warning on any compiler.
[I'm thinking of writing a compiler that issues the diagnostic
"Warning: the source file compiled with no warnings. Don't think
that just because there aren't any warnings that the code is
necessarily correct!" ;-]
But on compilers where that isn't possible, I do this:
NOT_USED(arg2);
and then in a piece of header file specific to that compiler,
define something that will work for that compiler and not
produce a warning. Here's some options from compilers

This is a wonderful application of typeof.
Wonderful?!! Removing a redundant warning?!
I'm quite sure there are _better_ examples of typeof.
[There are certainly more correct macros. ;-) But even after
correcting,
the second macro is slightly flawed in that it doesn't work properly on
register qualified parameters.]

From reading this forum, it is my understanding that C++ doesn't
require the compiler to keep code that does not manifest itself in any
way to the user. For example, in the following:

for(int i = 0; i < 10; ++i){
std::cout << i << std::endl;
for(int j = 0; j < 0x7fffffff; ++j){}
