Changes
-------

Clarify Purpose of this Review entry


Bugs: ASTERISK-24917
    https://issues.asterisk.org/jira/browse/ASTERISK-24917


Repository: Asterisk


Description
-------

clang's static analyzer will throw quite a number warnings / errors during compilation, some of which can be very helpfull in finding corner-case bugs. 

clang compiler warning:-Wunused-value

Changes:
apps/app_agent_pool.c
multiple occasions where return value from ast_channel_ref and ast_channel_unref is not checked not used.
return value from AST_LIST_REMOVE should be checked.
Possible issues with leaked logged reference (added remark)

channels/chan_iax2.c
return values from ast_callid_ref and ast_callid_unref can/should be used to update the pointer
return value from AST_SCHED_DEL should be used to update the scheduled variable
return value from AST_LIST_REMOVE should be checked.

channels/iax2/parser.c
return value from AST_LIST_REMOVE should be checked.

include/asterisk/stringfields.h
Quick fix to send the returned value from ast_string_field_ptr_set into the void.

Work in Progress:
There are too many sources issues with "-Wunused-value" for one person to create all the fixes. If we want to actually use this warning we will need a couple of extra hands-on.

Should we suppress "-Wunused-value" ? :
I think some of the issues pointed out by clang could be very helpfull, for example the "unref/ref/AST_LIST_REMOVE" changes that where needed in chan_iax2.c and apps/app_agent_pool.c. Some others a less interesting, for example the SCHED_DEL fixes.

Testing (updated)
-------

Just to make it clear, this was just a sample / proposal to work through large set of -Wunused-value warnings return. Some of them could be interesting, others might not be be. 

Mostly looking for a discussion about which path to follow, and see if we can divvy up the work a little.

Compiles / Untested / Pretty certain it contains issue because of different way of dealing with return value from ..._unref.
