Compiler warning was introduced by bpo-29565.

/home/serhiy/py/cpython/Modules/_ctypes/_ctypes_test.c: In function ‘_testfunc_large_struct_update_value’:
/home/serhiy/py/cpython/Modules/_ctypes/_ctypes_test.c:53:42: warning: parameter ‘in’ set but not used [-Wunused-but-set-parameter]
_testfunc_large_struct_update_value(Test in)

Yes, this is on my radar. I'm planning to make some changes to this file in response to bpo-22273, and will stick in a (void) in to get rid of the warning.

[vsajip]

Should be fixed by 164d30e.

[serhiy-storchaka]

Thanks Vinay!

[vstinner]

IHMO it's worth it to backport the fix, since Benjamin showed that GCC optimizer removes the function body and so defeat the purpose of the test.

[vsajip]

Added relevant "needs backport" tags to PR, will get to it soon. Reopening till then.
