------- Comment #1 from lloyd at randombit dot net 2007-03-07 14:47 ------- This is also true for C++ unless -pedantic is specified (which is confusing since I thought -pedantic-errors was the default for C++, but apparently this changed at some point). Using '-Wall -Wextra -ansi -std=c++98' gives no warning.
I'm not sure if it's really a bug, since the GCC docs make it pretty clear that -ansi et. al. are basically useless in terms of getting it to warn you about using extensions, but it is certainly unexpected. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28368
