Activate unused variable warning [message #1848894]

That should be a very easy one: I just need to see a warning symbol when I declare a variable that is never used. I had a look at
Window -> Preferences -> C/C++ -> Code Analysis
but that problem is not on the list.
Is there any way I could activate that warning? Thanks in advance.

There are options under "Potential Programming Problems"
They don't work?

I also thought that "unused variable declaration in file scope" might be the right one, but unfortunately it does not work or at least it does not solve this issue...

I am still having this problem and as I said, checking "Unused Variable declaration in file scope" is not the solution. I have seen that one could "customize the problem", but I am using the default settings.
I have even tested with with a hello_world.c adding an unused variable and I did not get any warning from Eclipse. The GCC compiler indeed finds the unused variable as expected.
