Please, just make the patch be "remote -Wtypes-limits".
Instead of making an already complicated check more complicated, and
making it more fragile.
I don't see why that int cast on h would be valid, for example. Why
just h? And should you not then check that the cast doesn't actually
change the value?
But the basic issue is that the compiler warns about bad things, and
the problem isn't the code, but the compiler.
