            Bug ID: 81250
           Summary: C++ warnings about unused stl
           Product: gcc
           Version: 5.4.0
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P3
         Component: c++
          Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org
          Reporter: jg at jguk dot org
  Target Milestone: ---

Created attachment 41649

To reproduce

Noticed that std::string which are unused, don't generate warnings. Could these
be detected?

g++ -Wall -Wunused-variable -o main main.cpp

Attached is an example.

Expected output:
main.cpp:12: warning: unused variable ‘unused_str’ [-Wunused-variable]
     string unused_str;

main.cpp:17: warning: unused variable ‘unused_var’ [-Wunused-variable]
     string unused_var;



NOTE:

If I add an unused size_t, I do get a warning.
main.cpp:13:12: warning: unused variable ‘no’ [-Wunused-variable]
     size_t no = 0;
