I gave this a quick run, to see if my compiler would complain for things
like this:

bool isprimary = flags & INDEX_CREATE_IS_PRIMARY;

(taken from the first patch at
https://postgr.es/m/20171023161503.ohkybquxrlech7d7@alvherre.pgsql )

which is assigning a value other than 1/0 to a bool variable without an
explicit cast. I thought it would provoke a warning, but it does not.
Is that expected? Is my compiler too old/new?

config.log says
gcc version 6.3.0 20170516 (Debian 6.3.0-18)
