This was my intension. I did not expect that the compiler looks
across routine boundaries. I agree that in this case
a warning in one class because of a void reference in another
class is very misleading.

Yes. Sometimes a friend gives me the access to a platform
where "icc" runs. My impression is that the compiler is
better that "cc" which in turn is much better than "gcc".
In other words, if a user of "gec" works on a platform
supporting "icc" then it is highly probable that he wants
to use the "icc" in connection with "gec".

PS
The attachment contains the binaries of "gec", ... to be added to

Except for "gec", I did not test staff.
