FD_{SET,ISSET,CLR} macros from sys/select.h triggerring gcc's -Wsign-conversion warnings

[Petr Skocik <pskocik@gmail.com>]

Example:

#include <sys/select.h>
void f(int X)
{
    fd_set set;
    FD_ZERO(&set);
    FD_SET(X,&set);
    FD_CLR(X+1,&set);
    (void)FD_ISSET(X+2,&set);
}

causes

fds.c:7:2: warning: conversion to ‘long unsigned int’ from ‘int’ may
change the sign of the result [-Wsign-conversion]
  FD_SET(X,&set);
  ^~~~~~

  FD_CLR(X+1,&set);

  (void)FD_ISSET(X+2,&set);
        ^~~~~~~~

fds.c:9:8: warning: conversion to ‘long unsigned int’ from ‘long int’

on gcc with -Wconversion -Wsign-conversion.


The problem is caused by the following macros:

    #  define    NFDBITS    (sizeof (fd_mask) * 8)    /* bits per mask */
    #  define    FD_SET(n, p)    ((p)->fds_bits[(n)/NFDBITS] |= (1L <<
((n) % NFDBITS)))
    #  define    FD_CLR(n, p)    ((p)->fds_bits[(n)/NFDBITS] &= ~(1L <<
((n) % NFDBITS)))
    #  define    FD_ISSET(n, p)    ((p)->fds_bits[(n)/NFDBITS] & (1L <<
((n) % NFDBITS)))

int-casting the sizeof and using 1UL instead of 1L fixes the problem:

#include <sys/select.h>

#if __CYGWIN__
    //current defs #  define    NFDBITS    (sizeof (fd_mask) * 8)    /*
bits per mask */
    #  define    NFDBITS    (sizeof (fd_mask) * 8)    /* bits per mask */
    #  define    FD_SET(n, p)    ((p)->fds_bits[(n)/NFDBITS] |= (1L <<
((n) % NFDBITS)))
    #  define    FD_CLR(n, p)    ((p)->fds_bits[(n)/NFDBITS] &= ~(1L <<
((n) % NFDBITS)))
    #  define    FD_ISSET(n, p)    ((p)->fds_bits[(n)/NFDBITS] & (1L <<
((n) % NFDBITS)))

    #if CYGWIN_FD_REDEFS
    #undef NFDBITS
    #undef FD_SET
    #undef FD_CLR
    #undef FD_ISSET

    //redefs that don't trigger gcc's  -Wsign-conversion
    #  define    NFDBITS    ((int)sizeof (fd_mask) * 8)    /* bits per
mask */
    #  define    FD_SET(n, p)    ((p)->fds_bits[(n)/NFDBITS] |= (1UL <<
((n) % NFDBITS)))
    #  define    FD_CLR(n, p)    ((p)->fds_bits[(n)/NFDBITS] &= ~(1UL <<
((n) % NFDBITS)))
    #  define    FD_ISSET(n, p)    ((p)->fds_bits[(n)/NFDBITS] & (1UL <<
((n) % NFDBITS)))
    #endif
#endif

void f(int X)
{
    fd_set set;
    FD_ZERO(&set);
    FD_SET(X,&set);
    FD_CLR(X+1,&set);
    (void)FD_ISSET(X+2,&set);
}
