Re: [Qemu-trivial] [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/2] Check value for invalid negative values

[Frediano Ziglio <fziglio@redhat.com>]

For the same reason there is the v >= l test.
The v >= l test state that the value can be out of range so it not always a constant in the range.
Adding the v < 0 check for every invalid value. As these are executed only for logging should not be a performance penalty.
I also hope the compiler is able to optimize

if (v < 0 || v >= l)

with 

if ((unsigned) v >= l)
