Re: [fpc-devel] Hint: Parameter sender not used

 But what do you mean with published methods? The published section is
 intended only for properties, which should be published in the object
 inspector. I guess you mean event methods. Beside event methods,
 callback functions and virtual methods could be affected too.

Yes, it means anything only in static private/protected methods and in pure 
functions/procedures.
Completely removing it (optionally) could be a good solution too, Delphi 
hasn't and I never missed it.

 My main problem, if I hide the hint by using

 {$HINTS OFF}
 ...
 {$HINTS ON}

 I remove all useful hints as well.

Yes! Exactly my point. But now the useful hints are sunk into tons of 
completely useless ones.

 Make your own error.msg file and change the hints you don't want to see
 into notes or comments.

Are you suggesting this as quick hack or do you find useful those hints?
Are you theorically against it?

I'd like it but it doesn't worth the changing of error.msg.

Bye Uberto

This is a workaround.

For us compiler-developpers it has low priority, IOW don't expect changes
soon if we don't get any patches to support toggling specific Hints
on/off.

Hi Uberto,

 This is not a big issue, anyway could we avoid the endless list of such

 Don't make me wrong, I apreciate the hints of the compiler.
 9 times out of 10 if I don't use a parameter in a function or a method there 
 it is an error of mine.
 But in published methods the parameter list is mandatory, so it doesn't make 
 sense to hint them. 
 Moreover they hide real hints.

I agree.

I have (unsuccessful) try to post a similar mail in the fpc pascal
list.
