From 8788994376d84d627450fd0d67deb6a66ddf07d7 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Rikard Falkeborn Date: Wed, 4 Dec 2019 16:50:20 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] linux/build_bug.h: change type to int Having BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO produce a value of type size_t leads to awkward casts in cases where the result needs to be signed, or of smaller type than size_t. To avoid this, cast the value to int instead and rely on implicit type conversions when a larger or unsigned type is needed.
