           Summary: confusing warning from clang re. incompatible pointer
                    types
           Product: new-bugs
           Version: trunk
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: new bugs
        AssignedTo: unassignedbugs at nondot.org
        ReportedBy: regehr at cs.utah.edu
                CC: llvmbugs at cs.uiuc.edu


The second warning effectively says "X is wrong, expected X".  Obviously the
code is bogus but the warning could be better!
