Hello Daniel,

it sounds like a fairly useful warning :)

I only have two comments regarding the patch itself:

> is it necessary to actually have UnusedPrivateFields and
(Not)FullyDefinedCXXRecords as members of Sema ?  They could be passed (by
reference) to IsRecordFullyDefinedInTranslationUnit which could then be
marked `const` (unless I missed something)

> there is no test case

Nice patch.
