Fwiw, from GCC 11 on (so not too useful for you yet) you can leave out
the name of unused parameters, just like in C++.  (Older compilers say
"error: parameter name omitted").

If you want to name it anyway (as documentation perhaps), you can
comment that, like
  void f(int a, int /*b*/) { return 42*a; }
but in cases like yours you can often just say
  void f(int a, int) { return 42*a; }
