This is quite ugly. :)
Why not fix the problem the right way by checking the return value.
Suppressing the error isn't useful.
The code is already handling cleanup in error cases,
and I don't think checking the result of chdir would be useful here.
Why not just fail with the appropriate test result, if chdir() fails
here, instead of making a bit of a mess with odd void casts to a
negated return value, and a reference to a compiler bug report?
Really, Shuah is putting you on the right path here.
Ha. I didn't ask to suppress the error with the cast. I asked
to check the return and fail.
We check for chdir() in several tools in the kernel. Add a check for
it instead of suppressing the [-Wunused-result] - suppressing doesn't
do any good.
This is what I said.
