Not sure I understand what your issue with C == was here.
You got a bunch of warnings for comparing mismatching types, which was 
to be expected. I failed to see any problems beyond that.

This has nothing to do with == as such, but with with C type system. 
This is how the type system is defined to work.

One might argue that this is bad, but in this case, I would say it's 
pretty reasonable. (As opposed to the promotion of unsigned to signed 
that can happen, which we had a thread about a couple of weeks ago...)
