What do you mean internals?

When you do a static cast anything to a bool, it is always converted to "!= 0".
This is not an internal part of GCC but part of the language. 

GCC is not warning about the constant version because it know exactly that 0.0
!= 0.0 will be true at compile time as it is considered an constant expression
as required by the C++ standard.

clang does not have -Wfloat-equal so there is nothing to compare against here.

Also note comparing against 0.0 will have -0.0 be equal too. Which might not be
what you wnated either.
