There are several common cases where code will not be executed.
Example #1: from Linux-2.6-rc3 file
sound/pci/au88x0/au88x0_xtalk.c
50 static xtalk_gains_t const
asXtalkGainsDefault = {
51 0x4000, 0x4000,
4000, 0x4000, 4000, 0x4000, 4000, 0x4000, 4000,
52 0x4000
53 };
asXtalkGainsDefault is not referenced anywhere else in the file
How to resolve:
Removing unneccesary code is usually
the
preferred course of action.
Caution: should be taken to make sure that the code is not referenced
by another architecture or code that is hidden by an #ifdef or other
code
