Is there any way for me to suppress the warnings that flood Xcode when not assigning unused results to nada if the dependency I’m bleep-blooping with is implemented in Objective-C?

Hi Pär,

I’m confused what you’re saying.  If I understand you correctly, you’re saying that you’re interfacing with ObjC code and getting a bunch of warnings saying that you’re ignoring the results of calls to these functions.  If that is the case, then there is certainly a compiler bug at work.  Can you provide an example that reproduces this behavior?  If I’m misunderstanding the situation, please clarify.  Thanks!
