If that's the expected behavior, then the manual probably needs
rephrasing:
"Macros defined in a system header are immune to a few warnings
wherever they are expanded."
I certainly expected "wherever" to include user code, and it seems
that's an important place for it to apply. An even shorter example:
#include <sys/select.h>
int main()
{
fd_set fds;
FD_CLR( 0, &fds );
return 0;
}
Generates:
$ g++ -Wold-style-cast -o g++-cast-warning g++-cast-warning.cpp
g++-cast-warning.cpp: In function ‘int main()’:
g++-cast-warning.cpp:47:5: warning: use of old-style cast [-Wold-style-cast]
g++-cast-warning.cpp:47:5: warning: use of old-style cast [-Wold-style-cast]
g++-cast-warning.cpp:47:5: warning: use of old-style cast [-Wold-style-cast]

From a quick read, it seems that the infrastructure to fix this
problem is in 4.8, but this particular problem isn't fixed?
Should I file another PR?
Thanks again,
