Subject: [U-Boot] [PATCH 2/3] Fix an overflow case in fdt_offset_ptr() detected by	GCC 4.3.
Date: Wed, 1 Oct 2008 22:03:50 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20081002020350.GB3436@cideas.com> (raw)

Using Gcc 4.3 detected this problem:

    ../dtc/libfdt/fdt.c: In function 'fdt_next_tag':
    ../dtc/libfdt/fdt.c:82: error: assuming signed overflow does not
    occur when assuming that (X + c) < X is always false

To fix the problem, treat the offset as an unsigned int.

The problem report and proposed fix were provided
by Steve Papacharalambous <stevep@freescale.com>.
