Subject: [PATCH v8 13/13] lib/bootconfig: change xbc_node_index() return type to uint16_t
Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2026 15:59:19 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260318155919.78168-14-objecting@objecting.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260318155919.78168-1-objecting@objecting.org>
lib/bootconfig.c:136:21: warning: conversion from 'long int' to
'int' may change value [-Wconversion]

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.
