It sounds like a warning for a -Wc90-c99-compat or similar option
(possibly in a more specific option such as -Wbool-arith) - pure C99 code
has little use for such a warning, it's about code that might be compiled
either with C99 _Bool, or with C90 unsigned char, and so needs to avoid
cases where they are incompatible. Such an option, similar in spirit to
-Wtraditional, could also allow you to get warnings in C99 mode for things
currently diagnosed with -std=c90 -pedantic.
