This is most relevant in implied .WORD directives which are caused by an
attempt to call a macro (which happens to be undefined) with arguments
that don't parse as valid expressions.
several compilers:
- gcc version 4.5.3 (NetBSD nb2 20110806)
- gcc version 4.9.2 (Ubuntu 4.9.2-10ubuntu13)
- Ubuntu clang version 3.6.0-2ubuntu1 (tags/RELEASE_360/final) (based on LLVM 3.6.0)
The warnings were mostly about local variables shadowing others,
unused function parameters, and C++ style comments. Some variables were
indeed used before set.
Note that on Linux, using -std=c99 does stupid things like *remove* the
declaration of strdup() from <string.h>. Therefore I've reluctantly used
-std=gnu99.
