- Subject: [PATCH 00/26] Make GDB -Wpointer-sign clean.
(I started out writting this a few weeks ago, and pushed out some
bits, but I hadn't managed to get to travel the last mile and properly
split it and write descriptions/logs. I did it now in order to avoid
having it fall into further bitrot decay.)
This makes GDB -Wpointer-sign clean on x86_64 GNU/Linux,
--enable-targets=all. Once this is in, and perhaps a couple hosts
more are clean too (mingw and i386 GNU/Linux at least; haven't tried
those), I'll propose enabling the switch by default.
The main idea came out as reviewing a new port a few months ago, and
pointing out for the Nth time to use gdb_byte[] instead of char[].
The bad uses were of course coming in through copy/paste, so at the
time I grepped and fixed all I found. Later, I noticed that
-Wpointer-sign catches these issues, as gdb_byte is unsigned char
while char is signed on x86_64, so it'd be good to enable that switch.
Of course, before that, we need to fix all current issues in the tree,
hence the previous patches from a few weeks back and now this series.
This is mostly split by category, with the first patches touching the
whole codebase, fixing each a class of issues. Latter patches in the
series fix the remaining issues in individual files, when their fixes
are either non-obvious, or don't fit in the class of a previous patch.
I'm hoping this sort of split makes review easy and allows quick
turnaround as consequence.
Tested on x86_64 Fedora 17.
