Subject: [PATCH v4] libbpf: Fix for the potential undefined behavior due to shifting
Date: Fri, 28 Aug 2026 08:34:10 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260828003448.1684064-1-tw19881113@gmail.com> (raw)
When compiling libbpf with sanitation, ubsan will report the following:
```
left shift of 1 by 31 places cannot be represented in type 'int'
```
This may lead to undefined behavior according to the compiler implementation,
let's fix it by casting to unsigned counterpart before shifting.
