However it also rejects 'unsigned int' v 'unsigned long' compares which are common and never problematc. Replace the 'same type' check with a 'same signedness' check. The new test isn't itself a compile time error, so use static_assert() to report the error and give a meaningful error message. Due to the way builtin_choose_expr() works detecting the error in the 'non-constant' side (where static_assert() can be used) also detects errors when the arguments are constant. Signed-off-by: David Laight --- Changes for v3: - Wrap is_signed_type() in __builtin_choose_expr() and __is_constexpr(). Generates a compile-time 0 for pointer types avoiding a bug in clang < 16. Changes for v2: - #include to fix 'um' build. This matches a separate commit from Andy. - Do not delete __typecheck() - used outside this file. - Use __builtin_choose_expr() in __clamp_once() to fix clang builds. include/linux/minmax.h | 65 +++++++++++++++++++++++------------------- 1 file changed, 35 insertions(+), 30 deletions(-) diff --git a/include/linux/minmax.h b/include/linux/minmax.h index 531860e9cc55..6f79e44aad86 100644 --- a/include/linux/minmax.h +++ b/include/linux/minmax.h @@ -2,6 +2,7 @@ #ifndef _LINUX_MINMAX_H #define _LINUX_MINMAX_H =20 +#include #include =20 /* @@ -9,9 +10,8 @@ * * - avoid multiple evaluations of the arguments (so side-effects like * "x++" happen only once) when non-constant. - * - perform strict type-checking (to generate warnings instead of - * nasty runtime surprises).
