Does (void)write(tracefd, sbuf, ref) not work? This ought to make itclearthat the return value is being ignored without additional dummyvariables.


No. That would be too obvious and useful!

The following might be clearer than doing the workaround in-placethough:


#define ignore_retval(x) do { long __r; __r = (long)(x); } while (0)

(Most useful scalar types can be cast to/from long.)
