Again, something where we could write an inline wrapper to split up the checks to bypass the -Wlogical-op stupidity without making the code too unreadable. > The first one is prety easy to fix, that's the only place where we use > EWOULDBLOCK, we are using only EAGAIN everywhere else. Dropping the 'errno == EWOULDBLOCK' branch would be a bug.

I've filed a gcc bug: https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=69602 If it's only rawhide that is failing, the next question is whether rawhide is using unreleased gcc on purpose to find problems like this before gcc releases, or whether anyone using stock gcc 6.0 tarball will face the same problem. Disabling -Wlogical-op feels like too heavy of a hammer, especially if my idea to break the checks up into multiple 'if's in an inline wrapper function works.
