I just compiled this test program with v2 with -Wall:-

#define nu __attribute__ ((unused))
class point{public: double x,y;};
int miaow(point w nu,double z nu){}
main(){}

with each of these in turn as its 3rd line:-
int miaow(point w nu,double z nu){}
int miaow(point w,double z nu){}
int miaow(point w nu,double z){}
int miaow(double z nu){}

and every time I got this error:-

t$$$.cc:3: parse error before `__attribute__'
