I agree with Andrew. This warning doesn't make much sense in C++. It is 
meant in C since you can call a function without a prior prototype, which 
will result in undefined behavior. It is not meant to protect you from 
accidentially mistyping the name of a function, in which the behavior 
is perfectly defined: you get a linker error, or in the case you cite 
you end up with a segfault or something alike if you call a non-existent 
function in a .so. 
 
-Wmissing-prototypes is simply not intended for what you want.
