The variable is set but not used. Nothing strange about the warning.

Pascal seems to have understood what I meant: The variable is indeed unused
and the compiler should complain about this no matter whether it is declared
unused or not.

I really don't understand why you seem to be saying the compiler should complain about a variable that was declared unused (before your change).

Anyway: From my analysis it seems there was a bug hidden somewhere (the struct
elements were not added) either in epan/wslua/make-taps.pl or packet-bacapp.[hc]
that was now exposed by actually receiving the warning and Pascal is working on
a fix.

Yes, apparently a bug was exposed and caught, this is a very nice outcome.
