This is very annoying.
My code is:
unsigned int dostuff();
void f(int x) {
if (x >= 0 && x < dostuff()) {}
}
This kind of false positive is indirectly a security problem. People routinely
hide these false positives using casts or changed variable types etc. and that
cause bugs and hides other real warnings.
I'd vote for either removing this warning or fixing it.
