Description Jim Nelson 2014-12-03 21:54:18 UTC 
With Vala master, I'm seeing these sorts of warnings in most of the projects I'm developing:

glib-2.0.vapi:3913.4-3913.25: warning: attribute `ReturnsModifiedPointer' never used
		[ReturnsModifiedPointer ()]
		 ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
gtk+-3.0.vapi:1662.4-1662.13: warning: attribute `HasEmitter' never used
		[HasEmitter]
		 ^^^^^^^^^^

... and more.

I'm not positive, but I think these warnings are only emitted for symbols that are referenced in the source code.  In other words, although there's numerous [HasEmitter] attributes in the VAPIs, the warnings are only being reported for the symbols referenced in the source code.
