Hi, in this PR submitter notices that in -Wctor-dtor-privacy we also handle the case of private member functions which are neither constructors nor destructors. Eg, we warn for: class A { // warning: all member functions in class 'A' are private void f(); }; Thus, minimally, I think we could resolve the PR by extending the documentation consistently with the code in maybe_warn_about_overly_private_class. On the other hand, changing the behavior of the warning itself doesn't seem a good idea (nobody ever complained, AFAIK). Changing the name of the warning itself could make more sense, but then we have the usual backward compatibility issues, etc, etc. Thanks, Paolo. /////////////////////////// 2013-02-27 Paolo Carlini <paolo.carlini@oracle.com> PR c++/55813 * doc/invoke.texi ([-Wctor-dtor-privacy]): Complete.
