>Description:
Gcc (since version 2.96) performs a check on every source 
file to ensure that every "{" is matched by a "}". This is
fine for most source files, but is not strictly required by either C or
C++.

  In any case, the OpenH323 project makes extensive use of 
the ability to start a class definition in one file, and 
then complete it in another file. We use the technique to 
provide a platform independent header for each class, which
is then completed by a file containing any platform
dependent declarations for that class.

  Our project contains hundreds of constructs of this type, and we
cannot easily change it as this point. Unfortunately, this 
warning cannot be disabled, so using any compiler after 
2.95.3 creates hundreds of lines of spurious warning per 
compilation unit.

>How-To-Repeat:
Download the OpenH323 source code from http://www.openh323.org
and compile with any 2.96 compiler
