[PATCH] show_ident_date: fix always-false conditional

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



1dca155fe3fa (log: handle integer overflow in timestamps, 2014-02-24)
assigns the result of strtol() to an 'int' and then checks it against
LONG_MIN and LONG_MAX, indicating underflow or overflow, even though
'int' may not be large enough to represent those values.

On Mac, the compiler complains:

    warning: comparison of constant 9223372036854775807 with
      expression of type 'int' is always false
      [-Wtautological-constant-out-of-range-compare]
      if (<<tz == LONG_MAX>> || tz == LONG_MIN)

Similarly for the LONG_MIN case. Fix this.

Alternately, the result of strtol() could be assigned temporarily to a
'long', compared against LONG_MIN and LONG_MAX, and then assigned to the
'int' "tz" variable. I chose the 'errno' approach instead because its
dead obvious, even to the most casual reader who hasn't checked the
strtol() man page, that it's handling a conversion failure. However, I
could go either way.

This patch is atop 'next'.
