found in package cairo-1.9.14 and file test/cairo-test.c with critical line 1597: if (ctx->thread == 0 && ! RUNNING_ON_VALGRIND) build outputs: "warning: logical '&&' with non-zero constant will always evaluate as true" from the used setup the VALGRIND macro is assumed to have a true value. (a code checker would probably suggest using round braces around the "==" part. the used default project tuning of gcc does not raise a warning on operator precedence.) whats the problem? a) if you use && with a constant and something else then your result will always either be false (const=false) or something else (const=true). there is no case for the compiler seeing this as fixed to true. b) maybe its unintended operator precedence that makes the case behave strangely -- Summary: misleading warning when && operator paired with a constant - is it operator precedence?
