Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.13-32
Severity: normal
GCC documentation states:
The warn_unused_result attribute causes a warning to be emitted if a caller
of the function with this attribute does not use its return value. This is
useful for functions where not checking the result is either a security
problem or always a bug, such as realloc.
However, so far as I can see, ignoring the return value of mblen is never a
security problem and is sometimes appropriate (the first call to the function
is often mblen(NULL, 0), the result value of which is usually of no interest).
(Debian's use of -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 and the common policy of using -Werror
together make this a noncosmetic issue.)
