Ahh, so we explicitly ask for it.

Unfortunately compiler still flags it as an warning. Just wondering why this
is still a problem if the second condition for an OR expression is always false.
Because evaluation still needs to be performed for the first condition anyways,
before arriving at the result.

As you mentioned GCC is quite stubborn here. Anyways, lets keep it unchanged.
