I don't understand this: There are parentheses already from if()
itself.

Yeah, syntactically there are, but those are parsed as part of the if,
rather than its condition; the AST node contained within does not have
parentheses around it.

I fear I don't follow. Besides us not using parentheses elsewhere when
if() is used like this macros, the point of requiring parentheses is (aiui) to make precedence explicit. There already is no ambiguity here due to the
syntactically require parentheses in if(). Why would a rule and/or the
tool require redundant ones?


this is parsed as (more or less) "if_stmt(integer_literal(0))" rather than "if_stmt(paren_expr(integer_literal(0)))" when the macro is invoked with 0 as parameter _done. Now, syntactically the parentheses are in the source code, so the letter of the rule is satisfied (as long as there is a single condition in the if condition), but the presence of those parentheses is lost when parsing. I see how this can be seen as a false positive, and we will definitely add some special handling so that cases like this are properly recognized, but for simplicity here I would add some extra parentheses, at least until the false positive is not resolved
