Hi,

I updated clang on my buildbot that builds the open source VTK project and it reported 4 unique -Wlogical-not-parentheses warnings:
<http://open.cdash.org/viewBuildError.php?type=1&buildid=2933590>

I consider them to all be valid warnings either because the code really is wrong or could be made clearer anyway.

My (hopefully correct) patch for VTK:
<http://review.source.kitware.com/11566>

hth,

Sean
