FBtoC emits illegal C code:
	if (mHndl & ( (-(nItems > 0 )) ) ) { ... };
Clearly that's a bug, and I've made a new entry in our database.

----------------------------
326	Won't fix	Error	gcc error from Boolean expression with pointer/

I marked the bug as 'Won't fix' for two reasons.
(a) It would be extremely hard for us to fix.
An idiomatic manual translation would certainly use the logical  
operator &&:
   if ( mHndl && ( nItems > 0 ) ) { ... };
In FB the 'and' operator is binary, which FBtoC emits as the binary  
'&' in C. Currently FB has no logical 'and'. The FB && operator is a  
synonym for binary 'and'.

(b) The workarounds suggested by Michele and Bernie, as shown in the  
bug entry, are easy.
