[Bug c++/24786] New: Missing warning on questionable use of parameter to initialize static

[dank at kegel dot com]

gcc only warns on blah1 on the following code:

const char *blah1() {
   char x = 7;
   return &x;
}

const char *blah2() {
   char x = 7;
   static const char *names[1] = { &x }; 
   return names[0];
}

returnlocal.cc: In function 'const char* blah1()':
returnlocal.cc:2: warning: address of local variable 'x' returned

Shouldn't it warn on blah2 as well?
Or is that asking too much?
