The first big glitch with -Wshadow was with shadowed global variables.
GCC 4.8 fixed that, but it still yells about shadowed functions. What
_almost_ works is -Wshadow=local. At first glace, all the warnings
look solvable, but then one will eventually discover __wait_event()
and associated macros that mix when and how deeply it intentionally
shadows variables. :)

Another way to try to catch misused shadow variables is
-Wunused-but-set-varible, but it, too, has tons of false positives.

I tried to capture some of the rationale and research here:
