Well, that is probably the only thing I hate in Clang :)
Actually, I found GCC to be much noisier in this (-Wall
-Wextra) case; the Clang warnings are mostly of pretty good
quality.
Also, I can't imagine a single valid use case for unreferenced
variables in C/C++, so it is a bit different.
Variables only used as parameters to assert(), in release
builds. This is somewhat annoying, as there isn't already an
#if-block you could move them into, as for other similar cases
involving conditional compilation.

Ah, good catch, glad I have not yet met such a case, I'd probably
have raged a lot :) Well, both Clang and GCC are not perfect
here. I have seen several times when -Werror policy got canceled
because no acceptable workaround was thought of in time. And my
development experience is rather small.
