https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D224845 Bug ID: 224845 Summary: Change return type to size_t. Product: Base System Version: CURRENT Hardware: Any OS: Any Status: New Severity: Affects Many People Priority: --- Component: bin Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org Reporter: bltsrc@mail.ru r326025 /bin/dd/args.c static uintmax_t get_num(const char *val) type SIZE_T would be more appropriate as a return value, because size_t could include largest size of any object. uintmax_t on the other hand may be one of extended integer types(if implemented, for example, 128bit number on x64), so exists possibility, tha= t no object could have that much size, so its more than needed, size_t would serve better in this case. Indeed, analogous function that does the same static size_t get_bsz(char *val) in OpenBSD's dd has return type size_t; --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
