- References: <20181002044420.17628-1-tom@tromey.com>
-fsanitize=undefined pointed out that read_signed_leb128 had an
undefined left-shift when processing the final byte of a 64-bit leb:
runtime error: left shift of 127 by 63 places cannot be represented in type 'long int'
and an undefined negation:
runtime error: negation of -9223372036854775808 cannot be represented in type 'long int'; cast to an unsigned type to negate this value to itself
Both of these problems are readily avoided by havinng
read_signed_leb128 work in an unsigned type, and then casting to the
signed type at the return.
