icc fails to warn of shadowing variables

[BradleyKuszmaul]

Given a variable with global scope, icc doesn't complain when a local variable shadows it.

gcc correctly complains.

(This is true in icc 12.0.0)

$ icc -c foo3.c -Wshadow

$ gcc -c foo3.c -Wshadow

foo3.c: In function foo:

foo3.c:2: warning: declaration of a shadows a global declaration

foo3.c:1: warning: shadowed declaration is here

foo3.c:3: warning: declaration of b shadows a global declaration

foo3.c:1: warning: shadowed declaration is here

$ cat foo3.c

int a,b;

int foo (int a) {

int b=a;

return b;

}

Thanks Bradley,
I can reprodcue this case here, and I will submit this issue to our engineering team to investigate it more.

Thanks,

FYI...This issue had been fixed in compiler v14.0 and latest v15.0, see below:

# cat temp.cpp
int a,b;

int foo (int a) {

int b=a;

return b;

}
