It's fine.  I didn't expect a significant number of false positives, but
if there is, we shouldn't keep the warning.

Thanks for your work here.

Michael.

Those should be fixed no matter what.

The truly bad ones have been fixed, but warnings remain in:

lisp/mouse.el:2772:10
lisp/dom.el:165:8
lisp/emacs-lisp/package.el:2556:15
lisp/gnus/gnus-art.el:6489:14
lisp/gnus/gnus-art.el:6500:12

lisp/gnus/gnus-sum.el:4656:12
lisp/net/newst-treeview.el:1835:17
lisp/org/ob-lua.el:388:19
lisp/org/ob-ruby.el:239:13
lisp/org/ob-ruby.el:261:10
lisp/use-package/bind-key.el:254:8

Except for the ones in Org, these are probably false positives (although =
I'm not sure about all of them). I could go around wrapping them in =
(ignore ...) to make the warnings go away but I don't want to do that =
unless I can vouch for them being false positives and explain why.

So I'm going to disable the warning for `delq` and `delete` again, =
because seeing those warnings at every build is not an option and they =
aren't going away by themselves. (Sorry, Michael!)

(The ones in Org have nothing to do with delq and delete per se and are =
easy to silence but given that the warning is going away I won't =
bother.)

There are probably better names than the chosen one but I went back and =
forth on it for a while so we should let it sink in for a bit before =
switching again. There is still some time before the release of Emacs =
30.

Not `pure`, but (almost) all functions declared `pure` are also =
`side-effect-free` (possibly error-free).

`side-effect-free` often produces the same warning as =
`important-return-value` for calls that don't use the return value, but =
the entire call can be deleted silently under some circumstances.

I agree, we should prefer more descriptive names. Let's see what we can =
come up with.

no-discard-value, I hope.  Just "nodiscard" is too terse (discard
what?).

These are not bad.  I like "nodiscard".

Interesting question.  Does 'pure' (or 'side-effect-free') imply
'important-return-value'?

Maybe we can take inspirations from other langagues?  In rust we have
the `#[must_use]' attribute [1], and in C++17 and C23 we have the
`[[nodiscard]]' attribute [2] [3].

Also, is there any definitive relation between this
'important-return-value property and the existing "pure" function
declaration?  Like the `(declare (pure t))' thing in the front of a
defun.

Thanks.  So it was worth it.

I have some doubt about the new property's name
"important-return-value".  It's not bad but it also doesn't really tell
what the warnings are about.  My English is not good enough to come up
with something better though ... "enforce-retval-passing"...hmm,
probably not.

Michael.

I changed a few spots of murky code that were nevertheless probably (?) =
false positives, so that the result is unequivocally better or at least =
no worse, in 0de472e04f.

Some of the remaining warnings point to what appear to be clear bugs. =
Those should be fixed no matter what.

Thanks for that.

The delq and delete warnings are enabled now, and we got a question
about this in emacs-help (by T.V. Raman) that I tried to answer, but it
was about a (slightly doubtful) false positive.

Let's see if there is more outcome.

Michael.

On master there is now a function declaration and property, =
`important-return-value`, that is used to mark functions that the =
compiler should warn about when called without their value being used.

I haven't set the property on delq and delete yet; about half of the =
cases seem to be false positives but it may be worth the effort to clean =
up those too.
I did fix a correct but somewhat daft use of cl-delete in python.el and =
enabled the warning for that function.

There is now a consolidated and improved ignored-return-value warning on =
master. However, it does not yet warn about delq and delete, which this =
bug originally was about, but keeps a list of other functions for which =
such a warning makes sense. The false-positive rate seems to be low =
enough.

The warning can be suppressed using `ignore`, or =
`with-suppressed-warnings`.

Once the issues indicated by the warnings remaining on master have been =
dealt with, other functions will be considered for addition, depending =
on how useful this would be.

We have more branches than back then.  I routinely build 3 branches
every day -- master, the release branch, and a feature branch for some
long-living feature.  I build 3 more branches weekly.  So I see the
same or similar warnings more than once each day.  The situations
where many Lisp files need to be recompiled are also more frequent
nowadays, due to a much more massive use of macros.  These reasons add
up.

> In recent years, ISTR seeing warnings in the build often enough.

You are tracking the master branch, which is by definition less clean
wrt warnings.

Likewise.  Although the place I use (in my head) is called by a
somewhat different name.  But is similar in nature.

Sadly, that stance is all but gone nowadays: compilers, including GCC,
wine too much, especially if you use "-Wall", and many projects use
"-Wall" by default.  That is called "progress".

End of rant.

How can warning about clear mistakes be annoying?

I am surprised -- I didn't do that when I was the main maintainer.  In
recent years, ISTR seeing warnings in the build often enough.

If you intend to make a change to prevent each such warning, that
implies that each spurious warning is a bigger pain in the neck.  That
makes a stronger argument for making fewer warnings rather than more.

I resent it when a compiler takes up my time pressuring me to prove to
it that I know something isn't a bug, and I usually tell that compiler
(inside my head) where it can take those warnings.

Either make it an optional feature (and disabled by default), or do
not implement them.

When I implemented the options that enable such warnings in GCC, I
urged people NOT to use those options by default.  To enable them by
default in a makefile is to impose systematic harassment on every
contributor to the code.  You end up with a program as your
taskmaster, haranguing you continually to insert proof that you didn't
make some mistake.

I never used those options.

These sorts of warnings can be annoying.  Whoever actually writes
this, please show us the full list of warnings that you propose to
implement, before putting them into master.

Or, how about having an option to enable these warnings, with "off"
as the default?

What are "non-destructive functions" in this context?

What's your opinion about the case of non-destructive functions - is it
ok if we would always warn about thrown away return values of calls of
them?

Not always indeed, but pretty close. Here is the complete list of .elc =
files that changed size, with their byte-code growth in bytes:

./lisp/emacs-lisp/pcase.elc 1
./lisp/eshell/esh-ext.elc 1
./lisp/emacs-lisp/bytecomp.elc 2
./lisp/mouse.elc 2
./lisp/org/org-agenda.elc 7
./lisp/emacs-lisp/cconv.elc 9

which is as good as zero. Is there a particular construct that you are =
worried about?

Most uses of (ignore ...) are for silencing unused variables, and that =
case should be more or less unchanged with the patch. The same should be =
true for using `ignore` to discard the return values of functions like =
mapcar or delete without warning.

In Emacs maintenance and development, the two cases are actually one.
We rebuild Emacs so frequently that even a "rare" warning appears all
the time and is annoying.  It is not a coincidence that we usually
don't tolerate warnings during the build of Emacs.

When someone wrote code like that, either person thought about the
question and determined the return value could be ignored, or person
made a mistake and introduced a bug.

How often does each of those two happen?
What fraction of these unused return values are real possible bugs?

People won't mind a rare spurious warning if the warning message
usually indicates a real problem.  But if it is the opposite way,
people will see the warning as annoying bureaucracy and resent it.

Can we come up with a conventional way to indicate you know
you're ignoring the return value and you've concluded it is safe?
For instance, using it as the arg of `ignore'?

I doubt that it will always result in the same code :-(

I would very much like `ignore` to work that way but it currently =
doesn't. This is probably a bug. Stefan, what about the attached patch?

(I already pushed a fix for proper for-effect behaviour of =
with-suppressed-warnings to master; hope that is all right.)

Instead of "(setq _ ..." you could better use "(ignore ..." which would
also serve as a hint to the reader: "the return value is ignored
intentionally, this destructive operation is intended like it is in this

Cool, thanks.

If there are more false than correct uses among the reported cases,
enabling this kind of warning all the time might be an improvement
nonetheless.

Even though my-list is never used again in the program?  How is this

That's a bit of an exaggeration: the code would just look like in the
thousands of other cases where we are not sure whether the element to
delete is not at the head, like

  (setq my-list (delq elt my-list))

which is not worse, even better readable IMO, than a naked `delq'
call.

Not in my opinion.  I'm sick and tired from seeing compilers emitting
bogus warnings which require one to spend time verifying perfectly
correct code, or, worse, modify the code to shut up the compiler.  Do
we really want to see stuff like

  (setq _ (delq ...))

in our code?

If it's really impossible (and I'm not sure it is), then the better
course of action is to emit the warnings only if the byte compiler was
requested to be more sensitive to potential issues, similar to GCC's
"-W*" options.  IOW, if someone wants to lint their code, let them ask
for a linting compilation.

He mentioned only one: "when you know that the elements to be deleted
cannot include the first element", and that's the only one I know.  Are
there more?

Even that case is a burden to the reader and the maintainer, because one
has to think about and verify that this condition is fulfilled.  And IMO
this case is more dangerous than the `mapcar' case which just produces
slightly more inefficient code.

But yes, we would warn about some legitimate and safe calls.  The
advantages outweigh the disadvantages in my opinion.

> please try not to emit the warning in those cases.

I think this is impossible.  The compiler can't know or prove whether
the element to delete is different from the first one.

I'd hate to see Emacs's byte compiler becoming the Big Brother who
knows better.  Richard described a couple of situations where the
"problematic" usage is completely legitimate and safe; please try not
to emit the warning in those cases.

You rang?

> for `delete' and `delq' function
> calls whose return values are unused.

Let's experiment: warning about for-effect calls to

  mapcar mapcan mapconcat
  delq delete delete-dups delete-consecutive-dups
  cl-delete cl-delete-if cl-delete-if-not cl-delete-duplicates
  sort

results in 34 such calls found on master, most of them about `delq` and =
`delete`, but `delete-dups`, `cl-delete`, `mapconcat` and `sort` are =
also represented.

Some of these are no doubt safe, a few of them knowingly so, but it's =
definitely not obvious from a quick look at the code. It's poor style in =
any case.

Thus such a warning definitely falls on the beneficial side. Let's do =
it.

> I think the warnings could be added in a similar way as the "mapcar
> called for effect" warnings work.

That's probably the best place to start (although we prefer warnings to =
be emitted by the front-end and not in codegen).

We may want to change the warning text from "called for effect" because =
it's written from the perspective of the compiler; the programmer thinks =
of it as 'not using the return value'.

For that matter, `with-suppressed-warnings` doesn't work for suppressing =
this warning very well; we may want to do something about that. This is =
true for the existing `mapcar` warning as well.

> Adding the same kind of warning for `remq' and `remove' would probably
> also be useful.  This will probably not occur that often but it still
> would be useful I think.

The compiler should already warn about those two since they are declared =
side-effect-free. Unless somehow `byte-compile-delete-errors` is set =
during compilation, which can happen if the code messes about with =
(optimise (safety ...)) -- it's a bit unfortunate. Please tell us if you =
observe anomalies in this regard.

I think that is a good idea.  But before we release such a change, we
should try compiling a lot of code with it and study the warnings produced.
Are nearly all the warnings caused by real bugs?

There are some special cases where the unused value is not a bug.  For
instance, when you know that the elements to be deleted cannot include
the first element, it is safe not to store the result back.  One can
argue that it is cleaner to do so anyway, but that's a matter of
neatness, not a bug.

Hello,

I think we should add compiler warnings for `delete' and `delq' function
calls whose return values are unused.  Those are most likely unintended:
still some programmers don't know that the return value must be assigned
back because the destructive operation on the original list structure
does not necessarily lead to the return value.  It's a pitfall and can
lead to bugs that are hard to debug, so having warnings would be an
improvement.

I think the warnings could be added in a similar way as the "mapcar
called for effect" warnings work.

Adding the same kind of warning for `remq' and `remove' would probably
also be useful.  This will probably not occur that often but it still
would be useful I think.

TIA,

Michael.
