Oh, right. I should have noticed.

I've tested the patch on Linux/x86_64. Looks good.

You can be more selective with '#pragma GCC diagnostic push/pop'
around the function.

Clearly you know about DIAG_IGNORE_NEEDS_COMMENT (I didn't), so I
assume you also know about DIAG_PUSH_NEEDS_COMMENT /
DIAG_POP_NEEDS_COMMENT, which then makes me not understand your
comment about selective pacification.
