Function pointer parameters and -Wshadow

Hi,

When I compile a header with g++ trunk on x86_64 using -Wshadow containing
function declarations like this:

int g(int a, int (*b)(int a));

/* Originally, I found it in openssl's bn.h BN_BLINDING_create_param() and I
   got a bunch of warnings from all .cc files including this header.  */

I get:

shadow.h:2: warning: declaration of 'int a' shadows a parameter
shadow.h:2: warning: shadowed declaration is here

I don't see the reason for this warning, because the parameters of the second
parameter `b' AFAIK have nothing to do with parameters of the original
function `g'.  (With gcc -Wshadow it compiles with no warnings.)

It seems to me, that the warning is present from g++ 4.4 revision 140120,
which was a fix for PR37302.

Is it the expected behavior?  I haven't checked the standard yet...

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Ferenc
