I am curious if further developers would dare to try another source code search pattern out. @display@ expression destination, size, source, target; @@ *target = memcpy(destination, source, size); I would like to point out that return values from memcpy() calls are assigned to variables in 16 source files of the software “Linux next-20251030”. Under which circumstances can development interests grow to reduce “unused” return values also for this kind of function? https://wiki.sei.cmu.edu/confluence/display/c/MSC13-C.+Detect+and+remove+unused+values Regards, Markus
