What do you mean exactly by `complains'? The compiler issues warnings
for dead code. It used to be the it would fail completely. Jikes
would, for instance, generate exception regions that ended in dead
code. Gcj can handle this now, so all you should be seeing are
warning messages.
Maybe the warning messages should be optional.
Are you still using an old compiler?
