[comp.lang.c++] Cfront 2.1 and warnings about const not being used

nxh@meaddata.com (Nobuya "Higgy" Higashiyama) (11/17/90)

We just switched to cfront 2.1 here, and one of the first changes we noticed
was the fact that we're now getting warning messages about const variables
being defined but not used.  What's funny is that this seems to occur only for
typedef'ed variable.  Here's a sample piece of code to illustrate this:

    typedef unsigned UNSIGNED;

    class Foo
    {
        public:
	    Foo (int);
    };

    static const UNSIGNED FirstConst = 1;
    static const unsigned SecondConst = 1;
    static const Foo ThirdConst (1);

    main ()
    {
    }

I get a warning message "::FirstConst defined but not used".  I don't get
warning messages for SecondConst or ThirdConst.

What's going on?  Is there a workaround to suppress these warning messages
about const vars not being used?  Thanks in advance!
