How is this a bug in the compiler? bla = func_name; and bla = var_name; are both valid C statements, it's a bug if they "fixed" it.
Furthermore, as mike said, it does no harm, and having a warning free compilation is very important. unused-parameter is a very useful warning, I wouldn't ignore it if I were you. The only place unused parameter is uselessly annoying is callbacks.
