Should we add -Wno-unused-function to CFLAGS when dealing with a version of
clang that complains about that version of glib's headers? Is it fixed in a
newer version of glib, where we could just backport a newer definition of
G_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CLEANUP_FUNC() that adds whatever annotations are needed to
shut the compiler up?
On IRC, danpb pointed me to libvirt's solution:
https://libvirt.org/git/?p=libvirt.git;a=commit;h=44e7f029
Maybe we just write our own macro wrapper around
G_DEFINE_AUTOPTR_CLEANUP_FUNC which takes care of adding necessary
annotations and use that instead (and our macro name might be shorter...)
My preference is to stick with regular glib functions/macros whereever
practical, rather than inventing QEMU replacements which add a knowledge
burden for contributors. That's why we moved to -Wno-unused-function in
libvirt.
I don't feel like -Wno-unused-function looses anything significant, as
the GCC builds will still be reporting unused functions which will
catch majority of cases.
Possibly we could figure out a patch for glib upstream that uses pragma
push/pop to squelch the warning ? They are quite receptive to patches
IME.

Daniel
