Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): gcc-3.1-0.22
Happens whenever a class without an attribute is copied: --- struct less {}; int main() { less a,b; b = a; } --- In this case, the warning may be right, but when less is used as a template-argument as in stl_tree.h, it can not be foreseen, if a copy operation makes a sense or not.
Should be fixed in gcc-3.1-0.23 and later.
