I'm not a language lawyer here - and as this is the second (or third)
patch to this folding to correct problems I'd rather be safe than sorry
this time. I'm sure jsm can construct a testcase where comparing offsets
as signed leads to wrong code. Maybe
char *memory = 0;
int foo(void)
{
return memory + 0x80000000 < memory;
}
int main()
{
if (foo())
abort ();
}
i.e. have a mapping >2Gb on a 32bit machine. A corner case, but valid I
guess.
