Re: Need your experience: is "(void)param;" to avoid unused variable warnings well known for you?

Thanks all for your input.

Here is my update.

I did a search, found more than 400 (void)param in about
35K lines of code.
I removed more than 200, and found it really worth my time.
Because I found even I (void) some parameters, latter
I added code to use the parameter but forgot to remove
the (void). That's terribly confusing and significantly
reduced code readability.

Now I use the commented out parameter name,
void func(int /*param*/);
Then there is no way to use an "unused" parameter.
Safe and clear.

Also I removed parameters that will never be used.

There are still more than 100 (void) in my code.
Most are in tool-generate code so I won't fix them
otherwise I need to change the tool a lot.
Others are in unit test that less harmful.
