Hi Richard, 

Thanks. I understand why it is not warned, but I do not understand why the
given test case with an empty body does not fit into -Wempty-body. 

The pattern makes sense, but is it a little conservative? For the if statement
"if (i) a:;", the programmer cannot easily find out that it is an empty
statement due to the labelled semicolon, which is equally bad to the stray
semicolon.
