-Wuseless-cast (not part of -Wall/-Wextra) warns here:
struct S { };
void g (S&&);
void f (S&& arg)
{
g (S(arg)); // warning: useless cast to type 'struct S'
}
which is wrong: the code will not compile without the cast because
"arg" is an lvalue which cannot bind to S&&.
I'd like to disable the warning when a class object is cast to
a non-reference type, which seems like a minimal patch that fixes the
problems reported in our Bugzilla. Of course, the cast in "(int)i"
may not be useless, either, but I'm not changing that here.
Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, ok for trunk?
