For example, gcc 3.4 supports a "warn_unused_result" attribute on functions; the compiler will complain when code calls a function marked with this attribute and fails to check the return value.

Best new gcc feature I've seen in a long time! (Easily beats precompiled headers, since those are so limited.) Thanks for the tip, I'll probably start using this in my own code.
