Hello there, I just ran the static analysis tool "cppcheck" over the source code of glusterfs-3.4.1 It said many things, including 1. > dict.c:916:2: warning: logical 'or' of collectively exhaustive tests is always true [-Wlogical-op] Source code is if ((SHRT_MAX> value) || (SHRT_MIN < value)) { Maybe something like if ((SHRT_MAX < value) || (SHRT_MIN> value)) { was intended. 2. > dict.c:948:2: warning: logical 'or' of collectively exhaustive tests is always true [-Wlogical-op] Duplicate.
