           Summary: Incorrect warning: expression result unused
           Product: clang
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Macintosh
        OS/Version: MacOS X
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P
         Component: -New Bugs

I get this warning when building the code below with Clang 1.6:

warning: expression result unused [-Wunused-value]
         for (NSUInteger j = finish; j >= start, j != NSUIntegerMax; j--) {
                                     ~ ^  ~~~~~

I am absolutely sure that the expression is indeed used so even if I am doing
something funky the warning is incorrect.

int main (int argc, const char * argv[]) {
    NSAutoreleasePool * pool = [[NSAutoreleasePool alloc] init];

    NSString *text = @"01234567890123456789";

    NSUInteger start = 0;
    NSUInteger finish = 10;

    for (NSUInteger j = finish; j >= start, j != NSUIntegerMax; j--) {
        NSLog(@"%C\n", [text characterAtIndex:j]);
    }

    [pool drain];
    return 0;
}
