Thanks for working on this.  Several comments:

- Do you have a copyright assignment on file?  (Not sure if it's needed for
  this particular patch.)
- We'll need testcases.  You should e.g. ensure that the warning
  works with -Wunused-comparison and doesn't show up with -Wno-unused-comparison,
  that casting to void suppresses the warning, etc.  You can look into
  gcc/testsuite/gcc.dg.
- New options need documenting in invoke.texi.  Only mentioning the new
  option is not enough.  See e.g. "@item -Wlogical-not-parentheses" paragraph
  for an example.
- As this is a C/C++ FE warning, please move it from common.opt to
  c-family/c.opt.
- Could you detail how this patch has been tested?
- Please adhere to the GNU coding style (though we can sort this out in later
  reviews).

Thanks,

	Marek
