This warning seems eminently unuseful:

private:
static bool check();
};
bool C::result = check();
---------------------------

y.cc:1: warning: all member functions in class `C' are private
I know that I can switch this off with -w (can I do so
selectively?), but this does not make much sense anyway,
I think. The code comes modified from BOOST, and the
check function is used to infer properties of the
template argument of C (which I have or course stripped
away here).
