[PATCH] for bits/string2.h

[Thorsten Kukuk]

Hi,

The patch:

1999-12-07  Jakub Jelinek  <jakub@redhat.com>

        * string/bits/string2.h (__memset_gc, __mempcpy_small, __strcpy_small,
        __stpcpy_small): Cast switch expressions to int to shut up compiler
        warnings.

breaks a lot of programs. The following construct ends with a
compiler error:

memset(pwbuf, 0, p - pwbuf);

Reason: It will be resolved to "(unsinged int) p - pwbuf"

The attached Patch for glibc 2.1 and 2.2 fixes this.

  Thorsten

Linux is like a Vorlon.  It is incredibly powerful, gives terse,
cryptic answers and has a lot of things going on in the background.
