Subject: [PATCH] Use MAP_FAILED instead of double cast
Date: Sun, 03 Jul 2005 23:05:31 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1120446331.1265.30.camel@dv> (raw)

Hello!

I have found some really ugly code to used to check the result of
mmap():

if (-1 == (int)(long)map)
	return;

Double cast almost always indicates that something fishy is going on.
Indeed, mmap() could (in theory) return 0xffffffff on a 64-bit platform,
and that would be misinterpreted as a failure.

There is a preprocessor symbol MAP_FAILED that should be used instead.
It's used already in some places, so let's use it consistently.
