Summary: The diagnostic was mostly introduced in D38101 by me, as a reaction to wasting a lot of time, see [[ https://lists.llvm.org/pipermail/cfe-commits/Week-of-Mon-20171009/206427.html | mail ]]. However, the diagnostic is pretty dumb. While it works with no false-positives, there are some questionable cases that are diagnosed when one would argue that they should not be. The common complaint is that it diagnoses the comparisons between an `int` and `long` when compiling for a 32-bit target as tautological, but not when compiling for 64-bit targets. The underlying problem is obvious: data model. In most cases, 64-bit target is `LP64` (`int` is 32-bit, `long` and pointer are 64-bit), and the 32-bit target is `ILP32` (`int`, `long`, and pointer are 32-bit). I.e. the common pattern is: (pseudocode) ``` #include <limits> #include <cstdint> int main() { using T1 = long; using T2 = int; T1 r; if (r < std::numeric_limits<T2>::min()) {} if (r > std::numeric_limits<T2>::max()) {} } ``` As an example, D39149 was trying to fix this diagnostic in libc++, and it was not well-received. This *could* be "fixed", by changing the diagnostics logic to something like `if the types of the values being compared are different, but are of the same size, then do diagnose`, and i even attempted to do so in D39462, but as @rjmccall rightfully commented, that implementation is incomplete to say the least. So to stop causing trouble, and avoid contaminating upcoming release, lets do this workaround: * move these three diags (`warn_unsigned_always_true_comparison`, `warn_unsigned_enum_always_true_comparison`, `warn_tautological_constant_compare`) into it's own `-Wtautological-constant-in-range-compare` * Disable them by default * Make them part of `-Wextra` * Additionally, give `warn_tautological_constant_compare` it's own flag `-Wtautological-type-limit-compare`. I'm not happy about that name, but i can't come up with anything better. This way all three of them can be enabled/disabled either altogether, or one-by-one.
