Subject: [boost] Unused Parameter Warnings
From: Michael Marcin (mike.marcin_at_[hidden])

I'm trying to silence a lot of unused parameter warnings in the boost
1.36 libraries I'm using. I'd like to submit these as patches so I don't
have to fix them again (I've had to do it for 1.34 and 1.35). Is there a
preferred boost wide solution to silencing these warnings? Should I
consult each library author on their preference?

AFAIK there are 4 common ways to silence these warnings.

  * Compiler specific pragmas
  * Pass by const reference to an empty inline template function
  * Cast to void
  * Delete the parameter name
  * C-style comment out the parameter name
