I didn't mean that the 'if' statement was superfluous, rather I meant 
that it could have been simplified to just 'if 
(walk_state->num_operands)'. I am somewhat sensitized to this way of 
coding after having waded through hundreds of Coverity complaints. That 
said, the way you have it coded is perfectly functional.
