It is quoted in gdb_assert(), so need check 'reg' whether less than zero.
And the related warning (with '-W'):
../../binutils-gdb/gdb/microblaze-tdep.c:667:3: error: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions [-Werror=sign-compare]
ChangeLog:
* microblaze-tdep.c (microblaze_dwarf2_reg_to_regnum): Check whether
less tha zero in conditional expression.

I don't see anything in the patch which does what you describe,
checking whether reg is less than zero. Converting a signed
integer to an unsigned integer is not a way to check whether
it is less than zero. This is better:
+ gdb_assert (reg >= 0 && (size_t) reg < sizeof (dwarf2_to_reg_map));
Yeah, it is common statement. It is also OK to me, although after type
cast, 'reg >=0' can be omited (it can let code simpler, but let code
not quit easy understanding).
No, if you want to verify that the value is greater than zero,
this cannot be omitted. A negative value would converted to
a positive value by the cast. There no reason to believe that
this would cause the other half of the test to fail.
I do not see this error message in my build which uses -Wall.
What is your build environment? Which version of GCC?
Originally, I use "CFLAGS=-W -g -O2" pass to configure. And '-W' is
different from '-Wall'. '-W' reports real 'all' warnings which can be
found by compiler, but '-Wall' reports most valuable warnings.
OK
