From abb2ea7dfd82451d85ce669b811310c05ab5ca46 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Rientjes Date: Tue, 6 Jun 2017 13:36:24 -0700 Subject: compiler, clang: suppress warning for unused static inline functions GCC explicitly does not warn for unused static inline functions for -Wunused-function. The manual states: Warn whenever a static function is declared but not defined or a non-inline static function is unused. Clang does warn for static inline functions that are unused. It turns out that suppressing the warnings avoids potentially complex #ifdef directives, which also reduces LOC. Suppress the warning for clang.

So undef it before re-defining it, and also add the 'notrace' attribute like the gcc version that this is overriding does. Maybe this makes clang happier.
