Comment (by anonymous):

 I think that making this change would merely replace one warning for
 another.
 In particular, it would say "result of expression is always true" or
 something like that; since for any T sizeof (T) is >= 0 (or, if T is
 incomplete, is a compile error).


 A better question is "What is this code trying to accomplish"?
