Unreachable Code - Examples

Examples

Consider the following fragment of C code:

int foo (int iX, int iY) { return iX + iY; int iZ = iX*iY; }

The definition int iZ = iX*iY; is never reached as the function returns before the definition is reached. Therefore the definition of iZ can be discarded.

Famous quotes containing the word examples:

    Histories are more full of examples of the fidelity of dogs than of friends.
    Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    There are many examples of women that have excelled in learning, and even in war, but this is no reason we should bring ‘em all up to Latin and Greek or else military discipline, instead of needle-work and housewifry.
    Bernard Mandeville (1670–1733)

    It is hardly to be believed how spiritual reflections when mixed with a little physics can hold people’s attention and give them a livelier idea of God than do the often ill-applied examples of his wrath.
    —G.C. (Georg Christoph)
