DEADCODE

UNREACHABLE

Finds statements or expressions that do not accomplish anything or statements that perform an unintended action.

Can detect the specific instance where code can never be reached because of a logical contradiction or a dead "default" in switch statement

Can detect the instances where code block is unreachable because of the syntactic structure of the code

-Wunused-value
-Wunused-parameter


Options detect unused local variables, nonconstant static variables and unused function parameters, or unreachable code respectively.
