[Intel C++/Linux] bogus/inconsistent warning #279 on !"..."
-----------------------------------------------------------
Key: STDCXX-487
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STDCXX-487
Project: C++ Standard Library
Issue Type: Bug
Components: External
Environment: Intel C++ 9 and 10/Linux
Reporter: Martin Sebor
>From https://premier.intel.com/premier/IssueDetail.aspx?IssueID=431380:
The warning below is not justified and should not be issued. It produces noise
for the common idiom: assert(!"...") used, for example, in case and switch
statements to indicate unhandled cases. (I believe more recent versions of the
EDG front end than the one used by icc 9 do not issue the warning anymore.)
$ cat t.cpp && icc -V t.cpp

{
(!1 == argc) ? (void)0 : (void)0;
(!"" == argc) ? (void)0 : (void)0;
