You can try to email us :-)

"local variable is used but the references are unreachable" means, for example

void foo() {
         int i;
         ...
         while (1) ...

         ...i;

If there is no break with the while loop, the code after the loop is 
unreachable, so even if "i" is used in that case, it is unreachable.

"calling function without prototype" is when you call a function without 
declaring its return type and argument types. This can cause trouble for 
example if the function is expecting a double argument but you only pass an 
int. If the function prototype is there, everything is OK since the 
compiler will then generate the correct type promotion. Without it, the 
code generated may not be what you expect.
