/*
This is a compile check.

Check for unused classes where the compiler cannot decide (e.g. because of
non-trivial or extern ctors) if a variable is unused if only its ctor/dtor
are called and nothing else. For example std::vector is a class where
the ctor may call further functions, but an unused std::string variable
does nothing. On the other hand, std::auto_ptr instances are used
for their dtors and so are not unused even if not otherwise accessed.

Classes which are safe to be warned about need to be marked using
SAL_WARN_UNUSED (see e.g. OUString). For external classes such as std::vector
that cannot be edited there is a manual list below.
