I think that makes sense.  There are other contexts in which cv-quals
matter, for instance trailing-return-type.  Updated patch below, plus
I've extended the testcase.  Thanks,

Bootstrapped/regtested on x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, ok for trunk?

It seems wrong to issue a -Wignored-qualifiers warning for code like:

  static_assert(!is_same_v<void(*)(), const void(*)()>);

because there the qualifier matters.  Likewise in template
specialization:

  template<typename T> struct S { };
  template<> struct S<void(*)()> { };
  template<> struct S<const void(*)()> { }; // OK, not a redefinition

And likewise in other type-id contexts such as trailing-return-type:

  auto g() -> const void (*)();

This patch limits the warning to the function declaration context only.

	PR c++/107492

gcc/cp/ChangeLog:

	* decl.cc (grokdeclarator): Only emit a -Wignored-qualifiers warning
	when funcdecl_p.

gcc/testsuite/ChangeLog:

	* g++.dg/warn/Wignored-qualifiers3.C: New test.

Well, technically they matter in all contexts, including function 
declaration:

const void f();
template <class T, class U> struct same;
template <class T> struct same<T,T>{};
same<decltype(f),const void()> s;

but much more likely to be a confused user in that case, whereas in a 
template context it's likely to be some deep magic.  :)

OK.
