In GCC 4.8 I implemented: "The option -Wshadow no longer warns if a declaration shadows a function declaration, unless the former declares a function or pointer to function, because this is a common and valid case in real-world code."
This patch applies the same heuristic to member functions. Bootstrapped and regression tested on x86_64-linux-gnu.
