Compiler gives a warning about a shift width for code that is never executed. This is highly annoying because there is no work around and I always use -Werror. I reported this as C++ front-end, because I think that this can only be a problem when the shift is a template parameter 'constant'; otherwise you can avoid the warning by simply not including the code that is never executed. Release: gcc-3.2 Environment: i686-gnu-linux How-To-Repeat: Compile the following: void f() { static int const s = 32; unsigned int a = 0x12345678; if (s >= 32) a = 0; else // Now s is garanteed less than 32! a <<= s; } Or, more practical, compile this: template<unsigned int shift> unsigned int f(unsigned int a) { if (shift >= 32) a = 0; else // Now s is garanteed less than 32! a <<= shift; } void g() { f<32>(0x12345678); } > g++-3.2 -v -c troep.cc Reading specs from /usr/local/gcc-3.2/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2/specs Configured with: /usr/src/gcc/gcc-3.2/configure --prefix=/usr/local/gcc-3.2 --enable-shared --with-gnu-as --with-gnu-ld --enable-languages=c++ --enable-debug --enable-threads Thread model: posix gcc version 3.2 /usr/local/gcc-3.2/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2/cc1plus -v -D__GNUC__=3 -D__GNUC_MINOR__=2 -D__GNUC_PATCHLEVEL__=0 -D__GXX_ABI_VERSION=102 -D__ELF__ -Dunix -D__gnu_linux__ -Dlinux -D__ELF__ -D__unix__ -D__gnu_linux__ -D__linux__ -D__unix -D__linux -Asystem=posix -D__NO_INLINE__ -D__STDC_HOSTED__=1 -D_GNU_SOURCE -Acpu=i386 -Amachine=i386 -Di386 -D__i386 -D__i386__ -D__tune_i686__ -D__tune_pentiumpro__ troep.cc -D__GNUG__=3 -D__DEPRECATED -D__EXCEPTIONS -quiet -dumpbase troep.cc -version -o /tmp/ccqu1OxB.s GNU CPP version 3.2 (cpplib) (i386 Linux/ELF) GNU C++ version 3.2 (i686-pc-linux-gnu) compiled by GNU C version 3.2. ignoring nonexistent directory "/usr/local/gcc-3.2/i686-pc-linux-gnu/include" #include "..." search starts here: #include <...> search starts here: /usr/local/gcc-3.2/include/c++/3.2 /usr/local/gcc-3.2/include/c++/3.2/i686-pc-linux-gnu /usr/local/gcc-3.2/include/c++/3.2/backward /usr/local/include /usr/local/gcc-3.2/include /usr/local/gcc-3.2/lib/gcc-lib/i686-pc-linux-gnu/3.2/include /usr/include End of search list. troep.cc: In function `unsigned int f(unsigned int) [with unsigned int shift = 32]': troep.cc:12: instantiated from here troep.cc:7: warning: left shift count >= width of type as -V -Qy -o troep.o /tmp/ccqu1OxB.s GNU assembler version 2.12.90.0.15 (i386-redhat-linux) using BFD version 2.12.90.0.15 20020717
