Subject: [PATCH] selftests/resctrl: fix clang build warnings related to abs(), labs() calls
Date: Thu,  2 May 2024 19:32:09 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20240503023209.80787-1-jhubbard@nvidia.com> (raw)

First of all, in order to build with clang at all, one must first apply
Valentin Obst's build fix for LLVM [1]. Furthermore, for this particular
resctrl directory, my pending fix [2] must also be applied. Once those
fixes are in place, then when building with clang, via:

    make LLVM=1 -C tools/testing/selftests

...two types of warnings occur:

    warning: absolute value function 'abs' given an argument of type
    'long' but has parameter of type 'int' which may cause truncation of
    value

    warning: taking the absolute value of unsigned type 'unsigned long'
    has no effect

Fix these by:

a) using labs() in place of abs(), when long integers are involved, and

b) don't call labs() unnecessarily.
