This code is needed for processing alpha, and should not be removed.

I remove it because i cannot found the caller for this API.
I think there should have one caller for this API, It will not be used if there have no caller, Isn’t it?

This is not an API. Please leave this function alone. If you really
need to fix it,
look at prior commits to this file and re-add alpha support.

I suppose you built the code and the compiler did not complain.

I see no reason to keep dead code in the source tree.

No, code is not dead and should be kept, ask maintainer for confirmation.

The compiler says it is. I am sorry, but your statement without any
proof seems less reliable than the diagnostics of the compiler and
Steven's judgement.

As is, the code can and should be removed, unless there is a technical
reason nobody mentioned yet.

The code is indeed dead atm. To quote myself from ticket 7886:
"Commit c64c97b972c7325a71440a352a7d541a8c92b2da has added support for
alpha channel decoding in Cineform HD (thereby fixing #6265), but
commit 9cefb9e7ec508900ba147e6977590f03456aa15c broke it again (the
function process_alpha introduced in the first commit is now not even
used any more -- thanks to Clang for reporting this). The sample
cineform_rgba_12b.mov from #6265 now decodes as before
c64c97b972c7325a71440a352a7d541a8c92b2da."

Thanks for clarifying. If it is dead, it can be removed. If it is needed
back, then it can be added back. Steven, go ahead if you want.

Why can this not be fixed properly? If the call to the function has been
removed accidentally, why make things worse and remove the function
completely?
This makes no sense at all.

It can. If you have time and motivation to do it, please go ahead.
Barring that, removing dead code is still an improvement.

It's not dead code, the GSOC student last year removed the call to the
function by accident.
It is beyond comprehension how removing more code and making the situation
worse improves things.

If it is so easy, you could do it instead of arguing. If it is not so
easy, you cannot demand somebody do it.

At least for this specific case, not littering the git history with
commits removing something that's going to be readded in a couple days
when a proper fix to a known bug is implemented instead, and not ruining
the usefulness of git blame for debug/bisect/backtracking purposes.

If i could add my 2 cents, for a reverse engineered codec it's important to
leave unused functions purely for documentation purposes, so that future
maintainers could implement and read about it right away, rather than
digging in a large and messy git history.
Additionally most compilers run passes that drop dead code already in a way
that does not affect runtime one bit. So I really don't see any gains in
removing these 14 lines of code.

I'd note that intentionally dead code should at least have a comment, and
maybe even a #if 0 would make sense (though has the disadvantage of not
even compile-testing the code).
In case of an actual bug like here I would say dead code if nothing else is a reminder of the
bug, though admittedly a very poor one.
Either way I suggest to discuss such things more relaxed, a few days more or
less hardly matters and there might be useful insights from other people (of
course I don't mean to delay non-controversial stuff nobody has any comments/objections on).

Yes, i think if the maintainers want use the unused code shortly time, maybe #if 0 is better way to fix the compiling waring.
Because that is means the code is not in use now, perhaps it will be used In the future, so should add comment for that.
not just stay it here, compiler give me warning, that is true, it’s dirty when compiling the project.
If there have much more warning when compiling, i think no people like full screen warning message.
perhaps there will have second, three, four, and so on if ignore the first one with this kind of message.
Make the code clean, At the very least, no warning when compiling.
