Wouldn't it be better to do something with err rather than muting (as the comment suggests)?
Maybe but what? The FIXME does not even say. In the meantime a FIXME comment is not a good enough reason to keep a compilation warning imho. And conversely fixing a compilation warning is not 'muting' a FIXME comment.
Well what the warning complains about is not technically fixed, just hidden. I agree warnings are bad in general, but in this very case, you don't solve the problem (absence of error checking) but simply hide the symptom (warning). (You could convert the commented fixme into a real one instead)
This is no different than changing
rc = myFun1(...) rc = myFun2(...) ok (rc...)
into
myFun1(...) rc = myFun2(...) ok (rc...)
which is generally frowned upon by AJ
