https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=3D209661 --- Comment #4 from CTurt <cturt@hardenedbsd.org> --- That negative loop was indeed my original theory I was trying to explain, however I no longer think that this is true. In the loop `i` is compared against an unsigned value, so an unsigned comparison will be used. That is = to say, a negative value of `i` is counted as a large positive value for the comparison. The result of this is that the loop condition won't be satisfied, and the a= rray won't be indexed. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are on the CC list for the bug.=
