https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=224845 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, that 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; -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
