Description David Binderman 2005-01-24 10:42:07 UTC
Description of problem:

I just tried to compile package ntp-4.2.0.a.20040617-6 from 
Redhat Fedora development tree.

The compiler said

./../libisc/interfaceiter.c(99): remark #177: function "get_scopeid"
was declared but never referenced

I've had a look at the source code, and I agree with the compiler.
Suggest delete dead code.

You are right ! The function get_scopeid() is not
called in ntpd-daemon and this function is compiled in
(tested in FEDORA CORE 4, i386).

RESUME: a) gcc compiler 'removes' this 'unused entry', so the binary does
	   not 'grow'.
	b) we could not observe the warning (as you are describing)
	   during the compilation of the ntpd-daemon
	
The ntpd-binary contains (functions from libisc/interfaceiter.c): 
			   isc_interfaceiter_destroy(),
			   isc_interfaceiter_current(),
			   ...
			   ...
but not get_scopeid().

There is nothing to fix.
