================
Comment at: clang-tools-extra/clang-tidy/bugprone/RedundantBranchConditionCheck.cpp:85
   // remove the inner `if`.
-  const auto *BinOpCond = dyn_cast<BinaryOperator>(InnerIf->getCond());
+  const auto *BinOpCond = dyn_cast_or_null<BinaryOperator>(InnerIf->getCond());
+  if (!BinOpCond)

Yes, you are right, I definitely need a vacation :-)
I confused `dyn_cast` with `cast` 
I've uploaded a fix.
