[C++ PATCH] Fix -Weffc++ warning on return in assignment op in templates (PR c++/84364)


Hi!

Before r253599 check_return_expr would:
      if (WILDCARD_TYPE_P (TREE_TYPE (DECL_RESULT (current_function_decl)))
	  || (retval != NULL_TREE
	      && type_dependent_expression_p (retval)))
        return retval;
when processing_template_decl, and thus not issue the warning, but now even
type dependent expressions can make it into the assignment operator -Weffc++
warning checks.

There are multiple problems, e.g. in
template <typename T>
struct A {
  T &operator=(T &f) {
    return *this;	// { dg-bogus "should return a reference to" }
  }
};
already the:
      if (TREE_CODE (valtype) == REFERENCE_TYPE
          && same_type_ignoring_top_level_qualifiers_p
              (TREE_TYPE (valtype), TREE_TYPE (current_class_ref)))
test will fail, even when one can instantiate it with T = A.
The bigger problem is:
          /* Returning '*this' is obviously OK.  */
          if (retval == current_class_ref)
            warn = false;
when retval is type dependent expression, it will be usually? built
with build_min and thus == comparison will not work.

The following patch just does what we used to do, not warn with -Weffc++
for type dependent retval expressions, defer that to instantiation.

Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-linux and i686-linux, ok for trunk?

	PR c++/84364
	* typeck.c (check_return_expr): Don't emit -Weffc++ warning
	about return other than *this in assignment operators if
	retval is type dependent expression.

	* g++.dg/warn/effc4.C: New test.
