From 93765d8a435fa021c4b7cd0521b7959239d7158a Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesper Juhl Date: Sat, 18 Jun 2005 23:00:15 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] [IPV4]: [3/4] signed vs unsigned cleanup in net/ipv4/raw.c This patch changes the type of the local variable 'i' in raw_probe_proto_opt() from 'int' to 'unsigned int'. The only use of 'i' in this function is as a counter in a for() loop and subsequent index into the msg->msg_iov[] array. Since 'i' is compared in a loop to the unsigned variable msg->msg_iovlen gcc -W generates this warning : net/ipv4/raw.c:340: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned Changing 'i' to unsigned silences this warning and is safe since the array index can never be negative anyway, so unsigned int is the logical type to use for 'i' and also enables a larger msg_iov[] array (but I don't know if that will ever matter).
