Hi,

I have a program which I want it's binary to contain a "version string",
the kind of string RCS automagically makes for you if you ask it nicely.

Now, if I put it in as a const static variable like so:
const static char * Ver = "$Id$";

GCC (rightfuly) complains about the string not being used. GCC does
offer the __attribute__ ((notused)) attribute, but it's only for
fucntions, not variables. Is there any inteligent way to tell it to shut
up for that specific variable? (except the obvious way of artifcially
using it?)

Thanks,
Gilad.
