Subject: Re:  __attribute__ ((unused) seems misdocumented

Does that mean that there is no alternative way of tell gcc, in c++ mode,
that the label might not be used?

If so, I will raise a bug/enhancement request against bison suggesting
they change their usage to be #ifndef __cplusplus or something.

Cheers
Mark
