[PATCH v1 3/4] common: ubsan: ignore shifting one into sign bit

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

 



The __ubsan_handle_shift_out_of_bounds handler would be called for code
shifting a one into the sign bit like (1 << 31), which is all too common
in barebox.  It's technically UB, but it's so prevalent that it's highly
unlikely to be treated by a compiler as anything else than the
standard-compliant (1U << 31).

Check for this case here and ignore it selectively.
