-Wlogical-op has never been part of -Wextra in any released GCC.
I moved -Wlogical-op into -Wextra in GCC 4.5 after I modified it to
not warn about cases that are typical of macro expansions, and after
it found some bugs in GCC itself. Obviously, given the current
situation, I missed some cases that cannot be resolved without knowing
for sure that the code comes from a macro expansion.
On the other hand, I wonder if some of the warnings are just some bug
in the logic, like the one for "if (foo & 0 && x)" that I fixed
already. Those could (and should) be fixed.
Cheers,
Manuel.
