#10479 closed Patch - Bug Fix (fixed)

Possible loop/logic fault in ClassicCommDetector

Reported by: Gary Buhrmaster <gary.buhrmaster@…> Owned by: beirdo
Priority: minor Milestone: 0.25

Description

clang detects a "ClassicCommDetector?.cpp:2232:28: warning: comparison of unsigned expression >= 0 is always true" warning in the code fragment:

for (uint64_t i = f; i >= 0; i--)

which could result in looping/faults.

There are various code styles to correct this, including:

for (uint64_t i = (f+1); i-- > 0; )

or

for (uint64_t i = f; i != (uint64_t) -1 ; i--)

I have provide a patch for the first.

Since this may impact the commercial detection results, the SME for commercial flagging should review the results of this patch with their test cases.

Thanks.

Gary

Keep an unsigned counter from going negative
