Re: [PATCH] gdb/microblaze-tdep.c: Check whether less than zero in conditional expression

It is quoted in gdb_assert(), so need check 'reg' whether less than zero.
And the related warning (with '-W'):

   ../../binutils-gdb/gdb/microblaze-tdep.c:667:3: error: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions [-Werror=sign-compare]

ChangeLog:

  * microblaze-tdep.c (microblaze_dwarf2_reg_to_regnum): Check whether
  less tha zero in conditional expression.

I don't see anything in the patch which does what you describe,
checking whether reg is less than zero.  Converting a signed
integer to an unsigned integer is not a way to check whether
it is less than zero.  This is better:

+ gdb_assert (reg >= 0 && (size_t) reg < sizeof (dwarf2_to_reg_map));

I do not see this error message in my build which uses -Wall.
What is your build environment?  Which version of GCC?
