That message doesn't say why some parentheses should be added.
And it's a question; how do I give it the answer "no"?  :-)

This doesn't look any clearer to me; I don't think that the unary
negation operator could be thought to have lower precedence than "!=".

Why does smatch warn about this combination?  Do such errors actually
happen?
