Subject: [PATCH v2 04/10] Avoid undefined behavior in extract_integer
Date: Tue, 02 Oct 2018 04:44:00 -0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181002044420.17628-5-tom@tromey.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181002044420.17628-1-tom@tromey.com>
-fsanitize=undefined showed that extract_integer could left-shift a
negative value, which is undefined. This patch fixes the problem by
doing all the work in an unsigned type. This relies on
implementation-defined behavior, but I tend to think we are on safe
ground there. (Also, if need be, violations of this could probably be
detected, either by configure or by a static_assert.)

* findvar.c (extract_integer): Do work in an unsigned type.
