    I tried gcc and clang, but those failures won’t show for me. See #18637 (comment)

    While I like the warning and error, if developers can’t see them on their boxes, it makes it tedious to fix those issues up.

 6    if (x == y*y) {
 7        return 1;
 8    }
 9    return 0;
10}

    gives me errors for both gcc (v9.3) and clang (v9.0):

    If I say if (x*x == y*y), g++ stops complaining though.

    same errors with gcc (9.3.0), give or take some wording. The two travis reports reportedly have clang version 7.0.0, and Apple clang 11.0.0, both of which I think are Xcode versions rather than llvm versions. Wikipedia claims xcode clang 11.0.0 corresponds to llvm clang 8.0.0, but trying clang 8 and clang 7 in Debian, and clang 6 in bionic gives me the same collection of errors as above, so I think this must be some Xcode specific thing, where other compilers are able to figure out the value is a constant that’s always in range, and just emit correct code, rather than a warning?

    According to #22176 (comment) this can be reproduced on OpenBSD 6.9, clang 10.0.1

    Another way to reproduce (at least for 32-bit) would be:

    ( cd depends && make HOST=i686-pc-linux-gnu CC='clang -m32' CXX='clang++ -m32 -Wsign-compare' NO_QT=1 NO_WALLET=1 NO_ZMQ=1 NO_UPNP=1 NO_NATPMP=1 -j $(nproc) ) && ./autogen.sh && CONFIG_SITE="$PWD/depends/i686-pc-linux-gnu/share/config.site" ./configure && make -j $(nproc) src/bitcoind
