Robert (Cc:ed) found a false positive from smatch, which boils down to:
```
#include <limits.h>
int
main(int argc, char *argv[])
{
long double sec = 0;
// also __int128 !
if (sec > (float)INT_MAX) {
0;
}
}
```
$ ./src/smatch/smatch -m32 test.smatch.c
test.smatch.c:9 main() warn: impossible condition '(sec > 2147483647) =>
(s32min-s32max > s32max)'
A cheesy fix here is:
$ git diff
diff --git a/smatch_type.c b/smatch_type.c
index 305a0b5c..1e289363 100644
--- a/smatch_type.c

}
The issue being that for these types, type_positive_bits() is 64 or
more. If only there were a tool to warn about negative shift operands :)
But type_positive_bits() is used all over, so I have no idea if there's
a lot of other problems.
Or, if this patch is OK on its own, I can add a couple of tests and send
a proper patch over.
Thoughts?
thanks
