Subject: [PATCH 2/2] gdb, gdbsupport: use [[nodiscard]] instead of ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED_RESULT
Date: Thu, 18 Jun 2026 13:51:00 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260618175118.3758778-2-simon.marchi@polymtl.ca> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260618175118.3758778-1-simon.marchi@polymtl.ca>

From: Simon Marchi <simon.marchi@polymtl.ca>

Since we require C++17, replace the uses of the ATTRIBUTE_UNUSED_RESULT macro
(which expands to __attribute__ ((__warn_unused_result__))) with the
standard [[nodiscard]] attribute, and drop the macro definition from
gdbsupport/common-defs.h.
