The gcc manpage has this to say:
-Wshadow
Warn whenever a local variable shadows another local variable, parameter or global variable or whenever a built-in function is shadowed.
However, compiling this code (with g++ 4.4.x or 4.5.x) using -Wshadow:
class foo {
void baz() {
}
int bar(int baz) {
}
};
produces this diagnostic:
test1.cpp: In member function ‘int foo::bar(int)’:
test1.cpp:5: warning: declaration of ‘baz’ shadows a member of 'this'
'baz' is not a local variable, nor a parameter, nor a global variable or
a built-in function. I'm not necessarily saying that this warning is not
useful, but the manpage doesn't say anything about shadowing member
functions being something that -Wshadow will warn about.
Is the documentation just trailing the code here?
