Hi
Please see code below:
```
void main() {
import std.stdio;
size_t i;
size_t j;
i = 5;
writeln("i = ",i);
}
```
Is there a compiler option that would warn that variable 'j' is
defined but not used?
Best regards

dmd is anti-warning, so it'd have to be an error, which might be
more annoying than it's worth. `dscanner --report thefile.d`
includes "Variable j is never modified and could have been
declared const or immutable." and "Variable j is never used." as
issues, with line and column numbers.

Best regardsNo in DMD but you can use [D-Scanner](https://code.dlang.org/packages/dscanner) for that. The check works reasonably as long as the variables are not introduced by `mixin()` or metaprog.

Hi, not compiler, but with dscanner it is possible, in fact with
the code-d vscode extension, you get that out of the box with
visual hints!
Take a look at this screenshot:

If you click on the line, it jumps automatically to the right
line, very nice tooling
