Обсуждение: unchecked chdir warning
When compiling with --enable-profiling using:
gcc version 5.4.0 20160609 (Ubuntu 5.4.0-6ubuntu1~16.04.2)
I get the warning:
ipc.c: In function 'proc_exit':
ipc.c:137:3: warning: ignoring return value of 'chdir', declared with attribute warn_unused_result [-Wunused-result]
chdir(gprofDirName);
^
I don't know if there is anything useful that can be done if the chdir fails. What is the best way to silence the warning?
Cheers,
Jeff

What is the best way to silence the warning? See, eg, aa90e148c. It used to be considered good enough to explicitly cast the function result to void, but the pedants who invented -Wunused-result refused to honor that convention. regards, tom lane
