Subject: qsbr: portability fixes: use unsigned long for the gp counters.
X-Git-Tag: v0.1~78
X-Git-Url: http://git.liburcu.org/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=f0f7dbdd9ba9bff3860d8aea63a3e01b158351de;hp=f0f7dbdd9ba9bff3860d8aea63a3e01b158351de;p=urcu.git

qsbr: portability fixes: use unsigned long for the gp counters.

unsigned wraps properly in C (modulo ULONG_MAX + 1), IOW ULONG_MAX + 2
_is_ defined and is 1.

Rewrite rcu_gp_ongoing test to work in the unsigned case:

    a - b < 0

becomes

    a - b > ULONG_MAX / 2

This test actually means a - b > 0x7f....f which is exactly what we want
to test for in the first place, but in a portable way.
