We now configure the gcc spec files to use a different crt files for
static & PIE binaries.
This relieves us from the need to explicitly specify the desired crt0
file in cmake scripts.
Problem:
- `(void)` simply casts the expression to void. This is understood to
indicate that it is ignored, but this is really a compiler trick to
get the compiler to not generate a warning.
Solution:
- Use the `[[maybe_unused]]` attribute to indicate the value is unused.
Note:
- Functions taking a `(void)` argument list have also been changed to
`()` because this is not needed and shows up in the same grep
command.
`snprintf` returns the number of characters that would have been written
had the buffer been large enough.
It's a common trick to call `snprintf(nullptr, 0, ...)` to measure how
large a buffer has to be.
Thus the return value is not zero but fourteen.
This enables a nice warning in case a function becomes dead code. Also,
in the case of test-crypto.cpp, I took the liberty to add the prefix 'g_'
to the global event loop.
