PVS-Studio warning V528 for Doom3

bool idGameLocal::InitFromSaveGame(....)
{
  ...
  const char *classname =
    mapEnt->epairs.GetString( "classname" );
  if ( classname != '\0' ) {
    FindEntityDef( classname, false );
  }
  ...
}

Most likely this is what should be written here: ( *classname != '\0' )


This suspicious code was found in Doom3 project by PVS-Studio static code analyzer.
Warning message is:
V528 It is odd that pointer to 'char' type is compared with the '\0' value. Probably meant: *classname != '\0'. Game game_local.cpp 1250
