Clang should not warn about it. I do not disagree. The original motivation for the warning was code like if (a() & b()) where a '&&' was intended to short circuit the call to b() if a() was false but then it expanded to encompass bitwise OR as well. The clang developers felt that warning on bitwise OR was worthwhile because most of the time, '||' was intended. Feel free to comment on the Phabricator thread if you feel strongly, there are not too many instances of this warning and I think the '&' vs '&&' aspect of the warning is useful. https://reviews.llvm.org/D108003 Cheers, Nathan
