Subject: [PATCH 1/2] lib/bch: fix signed left-shift undefined behavior
Date: Wed, 18 Mar 2026 07:48:05 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260318074806.16527-2-objecting@objecting.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260318074806.16527-1-objecting@objecting.org>

Use 1u instead of 1 to avoid undefined behavior when left-shifting
into the sign bit of a signed int. deg() can return up to 31, and
1 << 31 is UB per C11.
