Minor bug in -Wshadow

[Not Your Average Joe]

Hello,

I seem to have found a minor problem with -Wshadow in egcs 1.1b.
The following code evokes a warning, but I don't believe it should:

    #include <stdio.h>

    int main(void)
    {
        int var;
        int foo(int var);   /* this causes a warning, but shouldn't */

        var = foo(42);

        printf("var = %d\n", var);

        return 0;
    }


    int foo(int var)
    {
        return var;
    }


When I run this through "egcs -Wshadow", I get the following warning:

foo.c: In function `main':
foo.c:6: warning: declaration of `var' shadows previous local

The parameter name "var" in the prototype for "foo()" is not actually
a declaration, and so this warning is in error.


Regards,

--Joe
