A trunk build right now produces 152 unused local typedef warnings, all of which are junk, because several of our embedded third party libraries use local typedefs as a fallback for static_assert, and (apparently) it never comes up otherwise.
Attachment #8389446 - Flags: review?(gps)
In case anyone is curious, here is the output of "mach warnings-list | grep unused-local-typedefs" for one of my local debug builds.

fwiw we explicitly decided not to do this in bug 851237.

If we want these warnings to go away it seems like it would be better to either disable them per directory, or better yet patch the projects to use static assert when building as c++11 or add attributes if compiling with gcc / clang.

Comment #2 implies this patch is not desired.

Also, for changes to C++ warnings, I think tbsaunde or ehsan should look at patches like this before they get to a build peer.
