           Summary: -Wshadow on nested static data members
           Product: new-bugs
           Version: trunk
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: MacOS X
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: new bugs
        AssignedTo: unassignedbugs at nondot.org
        ReportedBy: Axel.Naumann at cern.ch

struct A {
   static void* f; void* g;
   struct B { static void* f; void* g; };
};

compiled with
clang++ -c -Wall -Wshadow -O2 t.cxx
generates the warning

t.cxx:3:28: warning: declaration shadows a static data member of 'A'
[-Wshadow]
   struct B { static void* f; void* g; };
                           ^
t.cxx:2:17: note: previous declaration is here
   static void* f; void* g;

Comment from Doug:
> It doesn't seem at all useful for Clang to warn about static data members

Could this get fixed, please?

Cheers, Axel.
