Verify unused

Open som-snytt opened this issue 6 years ago • 3 comments

It would be nice if -Xlint also verified that an element annotated unused is in fact unused.

Currently it's just an exemption from the unused warning.

Probably it's not necessary to add an option, -Xlint:used for this case, although the LOL factor is tempting.

Agreed, there's no need for an option to disable verifying that the unused-parameter-suppressing annotation is on a parameter that is actually used.

Alternatively I would suggest -Xlint:confused.
