This turns out not to work :(
FWIW in addition to the ATTRIBUTE_WARN_UNUSED_RESULT patch, I also had
to patch gdb's configure script to add -Wunused-result, as -Wunused
turns this off.
The g++ bug is known:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=38172
It looks like the accepted fix upstream to use the C++17 [[nodiscard]]
attribute; not sure if we can use that somehow.
Meanwhile I'm going to drop this part of my patch.
Tom
