But very little code of the form "if (&local_var)" which is always true
and what causes the problem here. I think this is just a variation on
the compiler test for "if (i=1)" which is also always true but probably
a bug. That warning you avoid with an extra set of parenthesis.
I'd be surprised if there were many other issues here, only complex
macros are likely to cause this one.
Have a nice day,
