Fix variable shadowing warning in igamma_inverse.hpp

Description

A local variable s is redefined in find_inverse_gamma() helper defined in the file math/special_functions/detail/igamma_inverse.hpp resulting in annoyingly long warnings from Sun CC compiler (see below for the warning in its full glory). I suspect other compilers (e.g. g++ with -Wshadow) would give this warning as well so I'd like to ask for the following trivial patch to be applied to fix it:

  • igamma_inverse.hpp

    old new  
    279279         {
    280280         // DiDonato and Morris Eq 35:
    281281            T v = log(p) + boost::math::lgamma(ap1, pol);
    282             T s = 1;
    283282            z = exp((v + w) / a);
    284283            s = boost::math::log1p(z / ap1 * (1 + z / (a + 2)));
    285284            z = exp((v + z - s) / a);

Removing the declaration and initialization shouldn't change the meaning of the existing code because the variable is not used before it's assigned below and the variable with the same name in enclosing scope is not used any more. But if you prefer you could also just rename this s in nested scope to something else (its initialization is still unneeded though).

TIA!

P.S. The warning:
