Subject: [PATCH] do not depend on undefined signed integer overflow
Date: Mon,  4 Oct 2010 21:43:08 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1286221388-4908-1-git-send-email-kusmabite@gmail.com> (raw)

Signed integer overflow is not defined in C, so do not depend on it.

This fixes a problem with GCC 4.4.0 and -O3 where the optimizer would
consider "consumed_bytes > consumed_bytes + bytes" as a constant
expression, and never execute the die()-call.
