Raydium 3D Game Engine

I've noticed that there are a lot of warnings like "ignoring return value of ‘fread’, declared with attribute warn_unused_result".
It's always related with standard functions that return values ignored by us. After a seeking over internet. it looks like this behaviour can not be deactivated , at least with o3 activated, and that's "our fault" cause all those returned values should be token in care for a good error handling.

I propose changing this (warned) line:


with this one:


I think is important to choose a default solution to this warning, cause it appears a lot of times during the compilation. I think those warnings are making hard to see real errors/warnings.

Yep, true, recent GCC releases now generates this message by default.

I hope we will find a better solution than using if() everywhere, because is waaaay less readable to me ! Your example is very good at showing this If we must add such tests all over the engine, it will end in a giant stack of bloated code.

Perhaps a solution would be to use some macro to create some self testing version of these functions, but until we do more research about that, the better thing to do is probably : nothing

ok then. Time for waiting

Wow, just done a few searches about this warning, some answers are pretty rude "Fix the code. All those warnings are problems.", "Programs which fail to test return values are unreliable at best.", ...

I'll try to have a look at the (probably huge) list of these warnings to see if there's an interesting way to get rid of these warnings ...
