Follow the suggestion given in the warning itself, and add another set of parenthesis:


if ((foo = 1)) { ... }

Um, that's just what I *don't* want to do, unless it's the only way. It's a small thing but that is just so unnecessary - and ugly IMHO.

How do you convey to the next person to read the code [1] that you intended to do an assignment in the conditional rather than a boolean test?


[1] Which may be you several weeks from now

Yes. I think it is a good thing that Xcode warns about this issue by default (now), and using the double parenthesis is the proper way to handle this.


It tells both the compiler and anyone reading the code that you really did mean an assignment
