This patch is OK for mainline.
As for backporting to 4.2, this isn't a regression, so the default
answer would be "no". I'm unconvinced that this is a sufficiently
serious problem to merit violating that policy; after all, we're only
talking about a spurious warning. (However, the other bug here is that
we don't have a warning option for this, so users can't use
-Wno-<something> to turn this off.)
In any case, we're not going to do this for 4.2.0. As per the policy I
posted recently on PRs, please find a C++ maintainer who wants to argue
for backporting this and ask them to mark the PR as P3 with an argument
as to why this is important to backport.
Thanks,
