Wow. This almost makes you want to have macros in Java…

>> I disagree with David. Casting to void is the accepted strategy for getting rid of unused value warnings. It makes perfect sense to me; if you cast to void, it isn't a value anymore. It's also good documentation: it says you know you aren't using the value, and that that is not a mistake. I did it several times in my patch.

As this seems completely arbitrary different compilers may have different views, or change their view over time. So I suggest not changing this and only fix the real issues that -Wunused-value produces.
