July 2025: In p4lang/p4c, delivered a targeted bug fix to improve diagnostic accuracy and feedback timing by moving unused-declaration warnings earlier in the compilation pipeline, before constant folding. This change, tracked as issue #5342 (commit 4598c76a04dde5c036085a6c5a2ed7bf9b67c29e), reduces confusion and speeds up code cleanup by providing more accurate warnings at an earlier stage.
