When it is it is to get the number of refs the object had before the call. The -1 error return value is practically useless. That value means a programming error because the object is invalid and you get bad magic number messages logged, assertion failures, and very likely crashes.</pre>

<pre style="margin-left: 1em; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">Ok, point taken. So that would mean that ao2_ref will be the biggest cause of "-Wunused-value" warning, even if we changed everything else, because it's return is rarely used :-)
I still think it is valid to NULL a pointer that might/might not vanish in the future (as with ao2_ref(xx, -1)). Same goes for example for ast_free, which does not null the pointer afterwards (or did i overlook something ?. It makes NULL pointer checks after such a free or unref a little bit pointless.
I know everything is working and asterisk-11 and asterisk-13 are pretty stable as far as i can tell, so not looking for extra work for any of us, just want to finish this point and move on.</pre>

<pre style="margin: 0; padding: 0; white-space: pre-wrap; white-space: -moz-pre-wrap; white-space: -pre-wrap; white-space: -o-pre-wrap; word-wrap: break-word;">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.</pre>

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.</pre>
