[jp charras <jp.charras@xxxxxxxxxx>]

I'll very happy if developers could add this option when compiling Kicad:
-DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS="-Wshadow"

Shadowed variables do not create issues for a compiler, but human readers are not compilers
(fortunately)

Using this option, I found at least one serious bug, when a shadowed var is a class member.

In all cases, this is a potential source of bugs, therefore it should be avoided.

Thanks.
