If the progress bar somehow becomes negative, it ends up overwritting tmp. Fixes this GCC warning:
aplay.c:1747:18: warning: '%02d' directive writing between 2 and 11 bytes into a region of size 4 [-Wformat-overflow=] 1747 | sprintf(tmp, "%02d%%", maxperc[c]);
This is false-positive. The value passed there is guaranteed to be a positive integer at the calculation time.
Sure. But best to silence GCC. It probably optimizes better this way.
I guess this adds more code in binary. Comparing with 99U would work?
I tried that. Here are some results:
134348 for this patch 134832 if changed to U. Also tried casting lhs to unnsigned int, same size. 135125 originally
I understand this is an exercise in micro-optimization, but still.
Sizes are in bytes. It's the size of a compressed OpenWrt archive.
Thanks for the analysis. It's surprising, though, the original code became bigger.
I've learned not to question the compiler. If it complains, it means it generates suboptimal code.
The cast of lhs is basically superfluous since C performs the cast implicitly at comparison, BTW.
In anyway, the number tells. Could you respin this patch?
I can resend. Not sure what you really want.
Meanwhile I'll apply the rest patches.
thanks,
Takashi
