I don't think that this is a logic error. You would get it with this
code (which is, I think, a longstanding normal C++ idiom):
int i = 3;
while(i) {
...
--i;
}
To avoid the warning you would have to write while(i!=0).
The compiler will give an error, rather than a warning, if the value
cannot be implicitly converted to a bool, for real logic errors.
Actually, a more dangerous warning being ignored is logic comparisons
between signed and unsigned integers. There are a lot of those.
