[Boost-users] compiler -Wshadow warnings

Hello,

I'm reporting some warnings I'm getting from gcc when I compile
with my code with -Wshadow (Boost 1.34).  Not critical, just annoying (makes
it harder to catch warnings in my own code).

/usr/include/boost/signal.hpp:345: warning: declaration of 'combiner'
shadows a member of 'this'

/usr/include/boost/signals/signal_template.hpp:348: warning: declaration of
'result_type' shadows a member of 'this'

/usr/include/boost/signals/detail/slot_call_iterator.hpp:51: warning:
declaration of 'f' shadows a member of 'this'

/usr/include/boost/program_options/parsers.hpp:34: warning: declaration of
'description' shadows a member of 'this'

/usr/include/boost/variant/variant.hpp:1115: warning: declaration of 'which'
shadows a member of 'this'

/usr/include/boost/variant/variant.hpp:1120: warning: declaration of 'which'
shadows a member of 'this'

The variant ones are especially problematic, as the printout of the
instantiation heirarchy is several pages long.
