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);
}
