I don't understand why you want to modify your compiler. This code
compiles fine with both g++ 4.5.3 and clang++ 3.3 (trunk 178973)

$ g++ -Wall -pedantic -W bolt-on.cpp
bolt-on.cpp:9:5: warning: unused parameter ‘argc’
bolt-on.cpp:9:5: warning: unused parameter ‘argv’

$ clang++ -Wall -pedantic -W bolt-on.cpp
bolt-on.cpp:9:14: warning: unused parameter 'argc' [-Wunused-parameter]
int main(int argc,const char** argv){
             ^
bolt-on.cpp:9:32: warning: unused parameter 'argv' [-Wunused-parameter]
int main(int argc,const char** argv){
                               ^
2 warnings generated.


Note that Foo::bar _is_ declared in the class (the "void bar();" line
inside struct Foo declares a function Foo::bar).
