I've taken the effort to mark out all the relevant globals and locals that trigger the unused warnings and addressed all of them by commenting out the code as appropriate. I am confident that in many cases this simplistic approach of commenting out code does not fix the underlying issue, and the warning actually found a bug that should be fixed. In these instances, I will be aiming to fix these bugs with help from reviewers, so I recommend anyone reviewing who knows more about the code than I do to see whether there is indeed a bug that needs fixing in a different way than what I did

Why comment out this one but not the one at line 88? It seems they are both equally problematic and are hiding the static memHandle. I'm not sure why the 2nd one isn't flagged. I'd actually suggest getting rid of the static memHandle. It does not seem to be needed.

The reason for no reference on windows is because of the following on windows:


#define MUTEX_LOCK(x)           /* FIXUP? */
#define MUTEX_UNLOCK(x)         /* FIXUP? */


So looks like this mutex support is something we never got around to. I think your current workaround is fine.
