[PATCH 1/5] string-list: fix sign compare warnings

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

 



In "string-list.c", there are six warnings which are emitted by
"Wsign-compare". And five warnings are caused by the loop iterator type
mismatch, which could be simply fixed by changing the `int` type to
`size_t` type.

However, for "string-list.c::add_entry" function, we compare the `index`
of the `int` type with the `list->nr` of unsigned type. It seems that
we could just simply convert the type of `index` from `int` to
`size_t`. But actually this is a correct behavior.

We would set the `index` value by checking whether `insert_at` is -1.
If not, we would set `index` to be `insert_at`, otherwise we would use
"get_entry_index` to find the inserted position.

What if the caller passes a negative value except "-1", the compiler
would convert the `index` to be a positive value which would make the
`if` statement be false to avoid moving array. However, we would
definitely encounter trouble when setting the inserted item.

And we only call "add_entry" in "string_list_insert" function, and we
simply pass "-1" for "insert_at" parameter. So, we never use this
parameter to insert element in a user specified position. Let's delete
this parameter. If there is any requirement later, we may use a better
way to do this. And then we could safely convert the index to be
`size_t` when comparing.
