+From 1567250294e9666747ee63f5c6364bbceadd300b Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

+Subject: [PATCH] gtype: Mark the G_DEFINE_TYPE parent_class variable as unused
+
+clang 23 added -Wunused-but-set-global, which fires on the
+type_name##_parent_class variable that _G_DEFINE_TYPE_EXTENDED_BEGIN_PRE
+emits whenever a type never chains up to its parent:
+
+  error: variable 'my_thing_parent_class' set but not used
+  [-Werror,-Wunused-but-set-global]
+
+Projects that promote the unused-but-set group to an error (pango, for
+one) now fail to build with clang 23, and they cannot fix it on their
+side because the variable comes from this macro.
+
+Annotate it G_GNUC_UNUSED, the same treatment the adjacent
+get_instance_private helper already gets.
