-Warn if the compiler detects that code will never be executed.
-
-This option is intended to warn when the compiler detects that at
-least a whole line of source code will never be executed, because
-some condition is never satisfied or because it is after a
-procedure that never returns.
-
-It is possible for this option to produce a warning even though there
-are circumstances under which part of the affected line can be executed,
-so care should be taken when removing apparently-unreachable code.
-
-For instance, when a function is inlined, a warning may mean that the
-line is unreachable in only one inlined copy of the function.
-
-This option is not made part of @option{-Wall} because in a debugging
-version of a program there is often substantial code which checks
-correct functioning of the program and is, hopefully, unreachable
-because the program does work. Another common use of unreachable
-code is to provide behavior which is selectable at compile-time.
