Subject: [PATCH] cleanup: fix possible overflow errors in binary search
Date: Fri,  6 Oct 2017 09:52:31 -0400	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20171006135231.239232-1-dstolee@microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20171005094418.irm6omly67bgyvo7@sigill.intra.peff.net>

A common mistake when writing binary search is to allow possible
integer overflow by using the simple average:

	mid = (min + max) / 2;

Instead, use the overflow-safe version:

	mid = min + (max - min) / 2;

The included changes were found using the following two greps:

	grep "/ 2;" *.c
	grep "/ 2;" */*.c
	grep "/2;" */*.c

Making this cleanup will prevent future review friction when a new
binary search is contructed based on existing code.
