When setting DEVELOPER = 1 DEVOPTS = extra-all "gcc (Raspbian 6.3.0-18+rpi1+deb9u1) 6.3.0 20170516" errors out with "comparison is always false due to limited range of data type" "[-Werror=type-limits]" It turns out that the function xcurl_off_t() has 2 flavours: - It gives a warning 32 bit systems, like Linux - It takes the signed ssize_t as a paramter, but the only caller is using a size_t (which is typically unsigned these days) The original motivation of this function is to make sure that sizes > 2GiB are handled correctly. The curl documentation says: "For any given platform/compiler curl_off_t must be typedef'ed to a 64-bit wide signed integral data type" On a 32 bit system "size_t" can be promoted into a 64 bit signed value without loss of data, and therefore we may see the "comparison is always false" warning. On a 64 bit system it may happen, at least in theory, that size_t is > 2^63, and then the promotion from an unsigned "size_t" into a signed "curl_off_t" may be a problem. One solution to suppress a possible compiler warning could be to remove the function xcurl_off_t(). However, to be on the very safe side, we keep it and improve it: - The len parameter is changed from ssize_t to size_t - A temporally variable "size" is used, promoted int uintmax_t and the compared with "maximum_signed_value_of_type(curl_off_t)". Thanks to Junio C Hamano for this hint. Signed-off-by: NTorsten Bögershausen <tboegi@web.de> Signed-off-by: NJunio C Hamano <gitster@pobox.com>
