If it = does need to do that, it is either already doing so carefully and correctly, or = this helper wouldn't make things worse. I'm not suggesting designing a general purpose replacement for std::min that handles all the possible corner cases, I'm just suggesting a convenience function for our own internal needs. All the uses in are with iterator difference types, which had better be signed, and distance(first, last) had better be non-negative too. include/bits/hashtable_policy.h does: const auto __max_width =3D std::min(sizeof(size_t), 8); This is mixing unsigned and signed, but both positive. include/bits/locale_conv.h: auto __nn =3D std::min(this->epptr() - this->pptr(), __n - __done); This compares ptrdiff_t with streamsize, which are both signed (and both va= lues here are guaranteed to be non-negative by construction).=
