The idiom

    for (LInsHashKind kind = LInsFirst; kind <= LInsLast; kind = nextKind(kind)) 

will trigger

    comparison is always true due to limited range of data type

warnings/errors dependings on compiler configuration.

Patch

"compilers that will insist..." is heresay and spreads fear, uncertianty, and doubt... the comment should say what compiler it is, so later we can re-check whether the hack is still needed.

I wrote "will trigger... warnings/errors depending on compiler configuration", "compilers will insist"... :-)

For the record, it was a variant of gcc 4.4 building for Android; I'm guessing (without proof) that any gcc 4.4 variant can be persuaded to complain in similar fashion if you configure its warning level in a similarly anal-retentive manner.
