[Boost-users] [ptr_container] warnings about shadowed members

Hello,

I am trying Boost 1.33 ptr_container with GCC 4.0.1 on Linux.
When including a ptr_container header (say, ptr_vector.hpp),
compiling code with the "-Wshadow" flag, some warnings are
issued about shadowed members. I am wondering if this might be a
problem, even if my snippet code compiles and seems to run fine
so far for me.

output example (with boost/ in current directory) :

$ cat main.cpp
#include <boost/ptr_container/ptr_vector.hpp>
int main() {}
$ g++ -I. -Wshadow main.cpp
