   BCC tries hard to find never used value settings, including some that
other compilers don't warn about. For example, IIRC, this generates a
warning because the 1 is never read:
   int i = 1;
   if (c)
      i = 2;
   else
      i = 3;
   As does the same thing in a switch statement. BCC may also sometimes work
out when loops will never be run or be run only once. I can't recall all the
cases but BCC has always been accurate when its given me this warning.
