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:

    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)

    No rules exist, and examples are simply life-savers answering the appeals of rules making vain attempts to exist.
    André Breton (1896–1966)

    In the examples that I here bring in of what I have [read], heard, done or said, I have refrained from daring to alter even the smallest and most indifferent circumstances. My conscience falsifies not an iota; for my knowledge I cannot answer.
    Michel de Montaigne (1533–1592)
