Description

Filing this bug for this warning:
{
> js/src/xpconnect/loader/mozJSSubScriptLoader.cpp:116: warning: statement has no effect
}

The chunk of code is:
> 92 NS_IMETHODIMP /* args and return value are delt with using XPConnect and JSAPI */
> 93 mozJSSubScriptLoader::LoadSubScript (const PRUnichar * aURL
> 94                                      /* [, JSObject *target_obj] */)
> 95 {
[...]
>112 #ifdef NS_FUNCTION_TIMER
>113     NS_TIME_FUNCTION_FMT("%s (line %d) (url: %s)", MOZ_FUNCTION_NAME,
>114                          __LINE__, NS_LossyConvertUTF16toASCII(aURL).get());
>115 #else
>116     aURL; // prevent compiler warning
>117 #endif

I'm assuming we're trying to suppress an "unused" compiler warning, but in the process, we're actually causing another compiler warning.

The correct way to suppress "unused" (at least in GCC) is:
  (void)aURL;
instead of
  aURL;
