From b62e408c05228f40e69bb38a48db8961cac6cd23 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: David Rientjes Date: Wed, 26 Aug 2009 14:29:22 -0700 Subject: flex_array: convert element_nr formals to unsigned It's problematic to allow signed element_nr's or total's to be passed as part of the flex array API. flex_array_alloc() allows total_nr_elements to be set to a negative quantity, which is obviously erroneous. flex_array_get() and flex_array_put() allows negative array indices in dereferencing an array part, which could address memory mapped before struct flex_array. The fix is to convert all existing element_nr formals to be qualified as unsigned. Existing checks to compare it to total_nr_elements or the max array size based on element_size need not be changed.
