Subject: pgsql: Remove unused global variables

Message-ID: <E1x56d4-00000004TYJ-3d9t@gemulon.postgresql.org> (raw)

Remove unused global variables

The new clang 23 has a new warning about set-but-unused
static (internal-linkage) global variables: -Wunused-but-set-global,
which is activated in PostgreSQL builds via -Wall.  This triggers a
few warnings in PostgreSQL code.  This commit removes several such
variables that were either never used or whose last use was removed
some time ago.

For pq_init_crypto_lib, we apply the same #ifdef HAVE_CRYPTO_LOCK that
the other uses of the variable already have, so that the variable is
either fully used or fully nonexistent, depending on the
configuration, not half-way.

Reinit was already documented in a comment as dead code, and it was
removed in a later branch.  To minimize the surgery there, just add an
unused attribute to silence the warning.
