--- Comment #3 from Eric Gallager <egallager at gcc dot gnu.org> ---
So, -Wshadow actually used to warn about this, but people didn't like it, so
that part of -Wshadow got removed from GCC in 4.8:
https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-4.8/changes.html

See also: https://lkml.org/lkml/2006/11/28/239

However, as of GCC 7, the -Wshadow flag now takes additional arguments
(-Wshadow=3Dglobal, -Wshadow=3Dlocal, -Wshadow=3Dcompatible-local) to let u=
sers be
more specific about which shadowing warnings they want:
https://gcc.gnu.org/gcc-7/changes.html=20

So, I'm wondering if the part of -Wshadow that got removed in 4.8 could get
added back to it as a non-default argument to the flag? e.g. -Wshadow=3Dfun=
ction

And maybe the arguments to -Wshadow could become a comma-separated list, to=
o,
so users could do things like -Wshadow=3Dfunction,global or
-Wshadow=3Dfunction,local or something (in bug 87656 I was thinking that a
-Wshadow=3Dcompatible-global might make sense, too)=
