The macro is still changing i.  So, whatever smatch is, seems it
should still warn, or it's broken :P

No it is not. The warning message is a hint. The smatch assumes that replacing
the macro 'i++' might cause unexpected behaviour like 5++ in each statement.

Well, my opinion is that your patch only adds un-needed code and that
smatch is either currently giving false-positives, or that it is
missing a warning when you add your patch.

But, not a big deal either way.

Thanks,
Ben
