>Description:
Compile this C++ program with `-W -Wall -Wshadow':

class foo
{
public:
  unsigned char     *bytes;

  inline static int get1u (unsigned char* bytes)
  {
    return bytes[0];
  }
};


I get:
creche. gcc -W -Wall -Wshadow -fsyntax-only foo.cc
foo.cc: In static member function `int foo::get1u(unsigned char*)':
foo.cc:7: warning: declaration of `bytes' shadows previous local

I think this is wrong.  The name `bytes' as an argument
to get1u does not shadow the field, because the method
is static.

This particular bug leads to many spurious warnings if
I enable -Wshadow for libgcj.
