OK, this is strange: I changed epan/wslua/make-taps.pl to not declare v as _U_ (which
is obviously isn't: it's used in the next statement) and now we get a "set but not used"
warning but not before? Btw, on my Clang (XCode) system I do not get this warning/error.
Ideas what is going on here (compiler bug?)?

v is set, but does not seem to be used (this what gcc is complaining about). Presumably marking the variable as unused was hiding this warning.

It appears that make-taps.pl was not working as expected with packet-bacapp.h due tio the use of a const. I'm about to push a fix for this.

Pascal.
