--- Comment #17 from Marc Glisse <glisse at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
I wonder if attributes unused / warn_unused should be automatically inherited
by classes when a member or base has it (with various rules, maybe unused has
priority over warn_unused). For a tuple of locks or a tuple of strings, that
seems to do the right thing. For a class that contains a private internal lock,
the user might need to specify warn_unused so the compiler does not guess
"unused" instead.
Even if that's currently useless, I still believe that decorating the relevant
classes (locks, etc) with attribute unused would be good (it could be used by
external tools as well).
