“pattern” and “exclude” are two structs defined in attr.c and dir.h
respectively. Each contains a field named “flags” of type int, that
takes on values from the set of positive integers {1, 4, 8, 16}
enumerated through the macro EXC_FLAG_*.
That the most significant bit (used to store the sign) of these two
fields is not used in any special way, is observed from the fact
that, the flags fields (accessed within attr.c, dir.c, and
builtin/check-ignore.c) is either checked for it's value using the &
operator (e.g.: flags & EXC_FLAG_NODIR), or assigned a value of 0
first and then assigned any one of {1, 4, 8, 16} using the | operator
(e.g.: flags |= EXC_FLAG_NODIR). Hence, change the type of flags
to unsigned in both structs.
Furthermore, flags is passed by reference to the function
parse_exclude_pattern defined in dir.c, which accepts an “int *” type
for the flags argument. To avoid converting between pointers to
different types, change type of the flags argument to “unsigned *”.
While we’re at it, document the flags field of exclude to explicitly
state the values it’s supposed to take on.
