Description Maciej (Matthew) Piechotka 2013-05-15 10:16:08 UTC 
Vala sometimes produces warnings which should be/can be ignored. As compiling in such situations with -Werror is still beneficial (or at least for easier spotting new warnings) it would be nice to suppress warnings.

Example syntax:

[SuppressWarnings (unused_variable = "x,y")]
void foo() {
    int x = 0; // No warning
    int y = 0; // No warning
    int z = 0; // Warning - unused variable z
}

I'm not very fond of such warning tuning. I'd rather want to avoid producing bogus warnings in the first place. For the case mentioned in bug 689462, an attribute on the type may make sense.
