It is not practical for gcc outsiders to submit patches,
the requirements are too exacting and complex. E.g. see
http://gcc.gnu.org/ml/gcc-patches/2004-07/msg00072.html
which demands a testcase (something which is IMO unclear
in the "contributing" URL you gave).
It is unlikely my first (or second) attempt at a testcase
will be flawless.
Similarly, I am asked to document this warning
(which I find odd, since there are lots of undocumented -Wextra warnings).
Do I need to fix the "broken" existing warnings too? The response was unclear.
The only requirement I can confidently handle is fixing the warning strings.
And are these *all* the requirements? I doubt it.
On the other hand, such issues are trivial for veterans such as yourself.
Could you please handle this for me? I would greatly appreciate it.
