The example of code

Here is an example of code where an unexpected warning is generated by clang
3.5 compiler. This code is also contained in the attached file.

// --------------------------- main.cpp -------------------------------

#include <iostream>
#include <cassert>

// overloaded operator
std::ostream &operator<(std::ostream &s, int const x) {
    assert(sizeof(x) == 4);
    s.write( reinterpret_cast<char const *>(&x), sizeof(x) );
    return s;
}

int main()
{

    // 1. Use operator as function
    operator < (std::cout, 4); // No warnings

    // 2. Standard usage
    std::cout < 4; // -W-unused-comparison warning is generated here

    // 3. Standard usage with pragma guard to avoid warning
#pragma clang diagnostic push
#pragma clang diagnostic ignored "-Wunused-comparison"
    std::cout < 4;// No warnings
#pragma clang diagnostic pop

    std::cout << std::endl;
    return 0;
}

// ------------- end of file ------------------------

After the overloading, the operator < doesn't mean the comparison any more. I'm
not sure this is the bug, but that warning seriously interrupts my work. As one
can see, I solved it like in the section #3. But I wish there is more elegant
solution.

Thank you.
