Subject: [Bug c++/15541] New: No warning if static checking can tell that a dynamic_cast will fail
X-Bugzilla-Reason: CC

List-Id: <gcc-bugs.sourceware.org>

Per conclusion from PR 15531: 
 
In this code, the dynamic_cast will always fail: 
------------------------- 
struct Base 
  { 
    virtual ~Base () {} 
  }; 
 
  class Derived : Base 
  { 
    friend int main (); 
  }; 
 
  #include <cassert> 
 
  int main () 
  { 
    Base * p = new Derived; 
 
    assert(dynamic_cast<Derived *>(p)); // fails 
  } 
------------ 
We should issue a warning about this, but don't.
