 But if the deprecated feature is removed in the next version of gcc, 
 you're not much better off, either: your code simply needs to be fixed, 
 and given the example you showed this is actually not so difficult.
 
 That does not mean that I'm not in favor of implementing such a warning, 
 but I guess few people feel incited to invent a switch for old branches 
 where newer versions will not allow the feature warned for anyway.
