This feels odd to me, to scatter these throughout the codebase. Is there no global flag we can set?

I mean its kind of like llvm/llvm-project#203084.

If there was a flag I guess it would be something like "-falways-assume-ctors-have-no-side-effects" but I'm pretty sure that is never always true so you wouldn't want it to be global.

Oh, I see, so this is for the ctors? Can we annotate the ctors directly, then, not the entire class?

It seems like the way to do this is to annotate the class itself.

Annotating a C++ class with [[gnu::warn_unused]] tells the compiler to issue a -Wunused-variable warning if a variable of that type is instantiated but never explicitly used.

private:
static const char* interned(std::string_view s);
