I agree it's just a style warning here (to warn about if (c ? 0 : 2) I mean, as
that's correct code), but the warning allows you to simplify the code, so that
seems to be a good thing.

The warning checks whether the ?: expression comes from a macro.  If it does
(as in Comment 3), it doesn't warn.  But in the original testcase the ?: itself
is not coming from a macro so it warns.

I think I still don't see any bug here.
