[Xen-devel] [PATCH 14/24] libxl: Allow AO_GC and EGC_GC even if not used

[Ian Jackson <ian.jackson@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Mark the gc produced by AO_GC and EGC_GC with the gcc feature
__attribute__((unused)).  This allows the use of EGC_INIT and
STATE_AO_GC by functions which do actually use the gc.

This is convenient because those functions might want to use the ao or
egc, rather than the gc; and also because it means that functions
which morally ought to be fishing any gc they use out of an egc or
state structure can be written do so regardless of whether the gc is
actually used right then.
