The values defined by the macro EXC_FLAG_* (1, 4, 8, 16) are stored in fields of the structs "pattern" and “exclude”, some functions arguments and a local variable. No variable that holds these values uses its most significant bit in any special way, as it’s value is either checked for a variant of EXC_FLAG_* using the & operator (flags & EXC_FLAG_NODIR), or assigned a value of 0 first and then any one of {1, 4, 8, 16} using the | operator (flags |= EXC_FLAG_NODIR). Hence, change the types of such variables and fields to unsigned. And while we’re at it, document "flags" of "exclude" to explicitly state the values it’s supposed to take on. Signed-off-by: Saurav Sachidanand <sauravsachidanand@xxxxxxxxx> --- This is a patch for the suggested microproject for GSoC 2016, titled "Use unsigned integral type for collection of bits." It’s the fourth iteration of this patch that incorporates changes to the commit message suggested by Moritz Neeb, Eric Sunshine and Junio C Hamano, and to some function signatures suggested by Duy Nguyen. Thanks to them for their feedback.
