Your approach to the problem:
if (!AUD_register_card("OMAP EAC", &s->codec.card, &error_fatal)) {
exit(1);
}
is adding dead-code because the exit(1) will never be reachable. So while
it lets you squelch the unused result warning, it is verbose and misleading
to anyone who sees it.
Perhaps a more viable option is to pull in gnulib's ignore_value macro
#define ignore_value(x) \
(__extension__ ({ __typeof__ (x) __x = (x); (void) __x; }))
and then we would have just this:
ignore_value(AUD_register_card("OMAP EAC", &s->codec.card, &error_fatal));
Good suggestion, thanks!
And to be fair, I did put a comment directly above that line to explain
the unreachable code path. :)
