    Clang: change previous tautological-compare fixes. · ca719316
    Diederik de Groot authored
    clang can warn about a so called tautological-compare, when it finds
    comparisons which are logically always true, and are therefor deemed
    unnecessary.
    
    Exanple:
    unsigned int x = 4;
    if (x > 0)    // x is always going to be bigger than 0
    
    Enum Case:
    Each enumeration is its own type. Enums are an integer type but they
    do not have to be *signed*. C leaves it up to the compiler as an
    implementation option what to consider the integer type of a particu-
    lar enumeration is. Gcc treats an enum without negative values as
    an int while clang treats this enum as an unsigned int.
    
    rmudgett & mmichelson: cast the enum to (unsigned int) in assert.
    The cast does have an effect. For gcc, which seems to treat all enums
    as int, the cast to unsigned int will eliminate the possibility of
    negative values being allowed. For clang, which seems to treat enums
    without any negative members as unsigned int, the cast will have no
    effect. If for some reason in the future a negative value is ever
    added to the enum the assert will still catch the negative value.
