Subject: [PATCH v6 12/17] lib/bootconfig: fix signed comparison in xbc_node_get_data()
Date: Sun, 15 Mar 2026 12:20:10 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260315122015.55965-13-objecting@objecting.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260315122015.55965-1-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.
