It was introduced in error by commit d8fda3b6da78c5a: I had originally intended to do test runs of prime generation by means of running every attempt with logging enabled, and after each failed attempt, deleting the log file and restarting it. But that was _far_ too slow, so I abandoned that approach, and switched to the alternative method of searching for a prime with logging turned off, and then repeating just the final successful attempt under logging conditions. log_discard() was the 'delete the log file' function intended for use in the first of those strategies. It wasn't actually used in the end, so I need not have committed it - and worse, the comment inside it claiming it _is_ used in prime generation is needlessly confusing!
This is the README for PuTTY, a free Windows and Unix Telnet and SSH
client.
PuTTY is built using CMake <https://cmake.org/>. To compile in the
simplest way (on any of Linux, Windows or Mac), run these commands in
the source directory:
cmake .
cmake --build .
Documentation (in various formats including Windows Help and Unix
`man' pages) is built from the Halibut (`.but') files in the `doc'
subdirectory using `doc/Makefile'. If you aren't using one of our
source snapshots, you'll need to do this yourself. Halibut can be
found at <https://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/halibut/>.
The PuTTY home web site is

If you want to send bug reports or feature requests, please read the
Feedback section of the web site before doing so. Sending one-line
reports saying `it doesn't work' will waste your time as much as
ours.
