I don't really have an opinion. Almost all warnings are sometimes overzealous (if they weren't, they would be errors!), so I find deciding where to put things very hard. It's made harder by the fact that people only complain about what they don't like, so we don't know how many people are benefiting from it being where it currently is, but will complain after we move it. All that leads me to a conservative position: I'd recommend we just leave it alone. People who don't like it can always pass -Wno-missing-braces. But, that's not a position I'd argue for strongly. Whatever we do, I think the C and C++ front-ends should have the same behavior. -- Mark Mitchell CodeSourcery m...@codesourcery.com (650) 331-3385 x713
