Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Resolution|--- |INVALID Status|UNCONFIRMED |RESOLVED --- Comment #2 from Andrew Pinski <pinskia at gcc dot gnu.org> --- unary operator vs binary operator. You are just confused really. that is if used as an unary operator, it will taken as the address of the lable. While used as a binary operator it will be used as you expect. Also the warning already happens with -Waddress (which is enabled with -Wall)" <source>: In function 'f': <source>:3:9: warning: the address of 'a' will always evaluate as 'true' [-Waddress] if (&&a) return 1;
