[Bug c++/44128] New: C++ frontend not warn on type shadowing with -Wshadow

[lcwu at gcc dot gnu dot org]

This bug is a follow-up to bug c++/44122.

Given the following program:

$ cat t.c

typedef long Py_ssize_t;

void bar() {

 typedef int Py_ssize_t;
 Py_ssize_t pos;
}

When compiled with the C compiler with -Wshadow flag, a shadow warning is
emitted.

$ gcc -c t.c -Wshadow
t.c: In function ‘bar’:
t.c:5:14: warning: declaration of ‘Py_ssize_t’ shadows a global declaration
[-Wshadow]
t.c:1:14: warning: shadowed declaration is here [-Wshadow]

However, when using the C++ compiler with the same flag, no warning is emitted.

$ g++ -c t.c -Wshadow

I think C++ frontend should warn on this case as the C frontend.
