I'd like to have the option of marking functions with
__attribute__ ((__warn_unused_result__)), so this patch adds a macro.
And use it for maybe_wrap_with_location, it's always a bug if the
return value is not used, which happened to me and got me confused.
Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, ok for trunk?
gcc/ChangeLog:
* system.h (WARN_UNUSED_RESULT): Define for GCC >= 3.4.
* tree.h (maybe_wrap_with_location): Add WARN_UNUSED_RESULT.
