The following simple test program when compiled with -Wshadow produces no
output. I'd expect to get warnings for both the x and y declaration in class B.
class A {
static int x;
int y;
};
class B : public A {
static int x;
int y;
};
int main()
{
B a;
return 0;
}
If this is intentional, perhaps another -W flag is appropriate. I spent about
an hour trying to figure out why an app broke when I change a static class
member declared in a class's header to instead be an anonymous global in that
class's source file, and it was because all of the source file's references to
the variable after the change went to a parent class variable of the same name
and type rather than the global.
