Compiling the attached program with g++ -Wall (3.3, 3.4, 4.0 and 4.1)
produces :
demo.C: In function `void generate_warning() [with U =
P<unrelated_function()::K>]':
demo.C:19: instantiated from here
demo.C:14: warning: unused variable 'u'
The problem here is that the warning names the type P<S> as
P<unrelated_function()::K>, because it was first instantiated there,
and it gives the typedef name.
But the warning is generated in the function generate_warning(),
which is completely unrelated to unrelated_function().
