As described by Linus here: http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0611.3/1020.html
Wshadow warns whenever any declaration shadows a global function
declaration. This is almost always noise, since most (always?) of the
time one cannot mistakenly replace a function by another variable. The
false positives are too common (Linus mentions using the name 'index'
when including string.h).
Interestingly, the C++ FE does not warn for this case, but it is not
very clear to me where this decision is taken.
Bootstrapped and tested.
OK?
