I think some compilers give a warning on while(foo = read()) but not on while((foo = read())).

That would be a broken compiler.

No, I'm pretty sure that's intentional specifically to permit that idiom.

It's usually a warning that you have to turn on explicitly, or one that you can at least turn off (thank heavens).
