As I was wondering whether there could not be a better way to prevent
the warning, I tried to reproduce the case. I've tried gcc 4.8.3 as well
as 4.9.1 and gcc 4.7.4, and none of them emits the warning above. 

Lukasz, where can I find the toolchain that you are using and which
emits the warning?

Amicalement,
