possible -Wunused-variable bug

Hi!

I'm new here, and in the process of learning c++. Not sure where should I report bugs... for g++ compiler.

When I enabled -Wunused I'm getting these warnings:

I checked all of those variables are used, and my program works just fine. In fact if I remove any of them I get errors instead...

The common thing about them is that they are all static global variables, within the HexaLib namespace.
