Hi
I am having this warning:
/home/fdt/dev/gcc/git/libstdc++-v3/testsuite/util/testsuite_performance.h:170:
attention: ignoring return value of « void* malloc(size_t) » declared
with attribute « warn_unused_result » [-Wunused-result]
170 | malloc(0); // Needed for some implementations.
Ok to fix it with attached patch ?
It seems trivial but I wonder if I shouldn't keep the malloc
returned pointer and free it properly ?
Or maybe just remove the malloc cause there is not clear comment
explaining why it's needed and I haven't found much in SVN audit trail.
* testsuite_files/util/testsuite_performance.h
(resource_counter::start): Ignore unused malloc(0) result.
