[C++-sig] wrong semantics in boost/python/cast.hpp?

[Ralf W. Grosse-Kunstleve]

When removing the "-w" option from the compilation command under Mac OS 10 the
g++ 3.3 compiler spits out the warning that is attached below. What do we think
about this?
Thanks,
        Ralf

Compilation command:

g++ -fPIC -ftemplate-depth-120 -DNDEBUG -O3 -DBOOST_PYTHON_MAX_BASES=2
-DBOOST_PYTHON_SOURCE -I/net_coral/scratch1/rwgk/bug/scitbx_2003_05_26/boost
