Subject: [PATCH] sign-compare: 32-bit support

From: Junio C Hamano <[email-masked]>
Date: Wed, 04 Dec 2024 14:47:22 +0900

On 32-bit platforms, ssize_t may be "int" while size_t may be
"unsigned int".  At times we compare the number of bytes we read
stored in a ssize_t variable with "unsigned int", but that is done
after we check that we did not get an error return (which is
negative---and that is the whole reason why we used ssize_t and not
size_t), so these comparisons are safe.

But compilers may not realize that.  Cast these to size_t to work
around the false positives.  On platforms with size_t/ssize_t wider
than a normal int, this won't be an issue.

 * These were needed to make linux32 CI job compile the
   -Wsign-compare topic cleanly.
