No, I hadn't seen the s/pred/pret/ typo. Your code does:

if (pred->op != OP_BAND)
pred->op = true;
else
pred->op OP_EQ;

Realy we should probably trigger a static checker warning any time
someone does a compare operations as part of a "x = comparison ?: bar;
Years ago, someone asked me to do that with regards to error codes like:

return ret < 0 ?: -EINVAL;

but I don't remember the results.
