Subject: [PATCH v6 17/17] lib/bootconfig: change xbc_node_index() return type to uint16_t
Date: Sun, 15 Mar 2026 12:20:15 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260315122015.55965-18-objecting@objecting.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260315122015.55965-1-objecting@objecting.org>

xbc_node_index() returns the position of a node in the xbc_nodes array,
which has at most XBC_NODE_MAX (8192) entries, well within uint16_t
range.  Every caller stores the result in a uint16_t field (node->parent,
node->child, node->next, or the keys[] array in compose_key_after), so
the int return type causes narrowing warnings at all six call sites.

Change the return type to uint16_t and add an explicit cast on the
pointer subtraction to match the storage width and eliminate the
warnings.
