If you run gcc with -Wall, it'll catch some of the things you mention, such as unused variables (and perhaps unused functions). In terms of optimizations, I don't, though in general the compiler is smart enough to make the kinds of optimizations that matter, so I wouldn't worry too much. Just don't use horrible algorithms. ;-)
