Hi all,

I was just reading Stroustrup's book on C++ (3rd ed) and in it he says
that "int x=x;" should produce a warning in good compilers.

Then to my surprise I found that g++ doesn't (both in MingW and Djgpp),
and silently ignores it.

The simple test program was :

int main() {
	int x=x;

	return 0;
}

Compiles perfectly.

Not complaining, just wondering if it's something overlooked in g++

Thanks
DSK
