If I understood correctly, newer glibcs have added warn_unused_result attribute to several functions when compiling with -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2.
I think this is a good idea in general, except there are some cases
where I really don't care if the call succeeds or not. Traditionally
it's been possible to use
(void)chdir("/blah");
to disable such warnings in lint, but this doesn't work with gcc. How
about adding support for it?
Of course I could just as well do
if (chdir("/blah") < 0) ;
but that's kind of ugly and not self-explanatory.
