Date: Tue, 18 Sep 2012 21:00:09 -0700 From: Guenter Roeck <linux@...ck-us.net> To: linux-kernel@...r.kernel.org Cc: Andrew Morton <akpm@...ux-foundation.org>, Jean Delvare <khali@...ux-fr.org>, Mauro Carvalho Chehab <mchehab@...radead.org>, lm-sensors@...sensors.org, Guenter Roeck <linux@...ck-us.net> Subject: [PATCH] linux/kernel.h: Fix warning seen with W=1 due to change in DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST After commit b6d86d3d (Fix DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST to support negative dividends), the following warning is seen if the kernel is compiled with W=1 (-Wextra): warning: comparison of unsigned expression >= 0 is always true The warning is due to the test '((typeof(x))-1) >= 0', which is used to detect if the variable type is unsigned. Research on the web suggests that the warning disappears if '>' instead of '>=' is used for the comparison. Tests after changing the macro along that line show that the warning is gone, and that the result is still correct: i=-4: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=-2 i=-3: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=-2 i=-2: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=-1 i=-1: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=-1 i=0: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=0 i=1: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=1 i=2: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=1 i=3: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=2 i=4: DIV_ROUND_CLOSEST(i, 2)=2 Code size is the same as before.
