In the following example:

class A
{
    int len();
    void setLen(int len) { len_ = len; } // warning at this line

    int len_;
};

gcc with -Wshadow issue a warning:

main.cpp:4: warning: declaration of `len' shadows a member of `this'

function len and integer len are of different type. Why the warning?
