That's only addressing part of the issue. What about automatic or static
external variables that are declared but may go unreferenced depending on
preprocessor macros? You need to annotate them with __attribute__
((unused)) to suppress compiler warnings. Globally disabling such
warnings would eventually cause unused code to go unnoticed.
