Subject: [lttng-dev] [PATCH lttng-modules 2/2] Silence compiler "always
 false comparison" warning
In-Reply-To: <20190514203759.27112-1-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>
References: <20190514203759.27112-1-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>
Message-ID: <20190514203759.27112-2-mathieu.desnoyers@efficios.com>

Compiling the bitfield test with gcc -Wextra generates those warnings:

 ../../include/babeltrace/bitfield-internal.h:38:45: warning: comparison of unsigned expression < 0 is always false [-Wtype-limits]
 #define _bt_is_signed_type(type) ((type) -1 < (type) 0)

This is the intent of the macro. Disable compiler warnings around use of
that macro.
