------- Comment #4 from mmitchel at gcc dot gnu dot org 2009-02-17 02:53 ------- The key question is whether the bogus warning could indicate a potential for miscompilation. If it's "just" a bogus warning, then it's going to annoy and confuse people, but not result in too much damage. But, if this means that we're likely to miscompile things, then we have a worse problem. Of course, until someone demonstrates an actual miscompilation, that's perhaps something of a theoretical problem.
I'll leave this as P3 until we know more. -- http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=39207
