Bug #13809
closedUnused variable warning does not occur when a method with the same name was called
Description
problem¶
a = 1
a()
a
is unused, but ruby -cw
does not add warning for this code.
$ ruby -cw test.rb
Syntax OK
Cause¶
The parser changes mode by lvar definition. At that time, parser checks whether lvar is defined that is with same name.
https://github.com/ruby/ruby/blob/6ee82564fac2745e45154938b5b75d9f5ab70b58/parse.y#L7886
Then, if lvar with same name is defined, the lvar is marked as used.

parse.y: set used flag in gettable
-
parse.y (dvar_defined_ref, dvar_defined): rename macros. only
gettable uses the former. assignable should not set LVAR_USED
flag. -
parse.y (gettable_gen): set used flag on local/dynamic variables
instead of setting in lexer. [ruby-core:82368] [Bug #13809]
