In GCC 4.8 I implemented:
"The option -Wshadow no longer warns if a declaration shadows a function
declaration, unless the former declares a function or pointer to function,
because this is a common and valid case in real-world code."
I think this is a useful heuristic also for member functions, no? I don't have
time to work on this at the moment, but it would be useful to know whether the
maintainers agree, so someone (Jan?) may start working on a patch.
