Right. In particular the old line could be confusing if one misinterpreted it as saying that the addition could overflow into a higher bit. The new line is intended to be unambiguous that the upper 32 bits are 0. > But isn't it more confusing now because it's unclear > what the sign of the dst/src is (s32 vs u32)? As stated the upper 32 bits have to be 0, just as any other u32 assignment. > Also, we do keep (u32) ^ (u32) for BPF_XOR below.. Well for XOR it's equivalent either way so didn't need a change. Thanks for reviewing, Dave
