Subject: [PATCH v5 18/23] lib/bootconfig: fix signed comparison in xbc_node_get_data()
Date: Sat, 14 Mar 2026 23:31:39 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260314233144.187273-19-objecting@objecting.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260314233144.187273-1-objecting@objecting.org>

  lib/bootconfig.c:188:28: warning: comparison of integer expressions
  of different signedness: 'int' and 'size_t' [-Wsign-compare]

The local variable 'offset' is declared as int, but xbc_data_size is
size_t.  Using ~XBC_VALUE as the mask also involves integer promotion
rules that obscure intent.

Change the type to unsigned int and mask with XBC_DATA_MAX (which is
the 15-bit data mask) instead of ~XBC_VALUE, making the expression
self-documenting and eliminating the signed/unsigned comparison.
