In each case, the function has an unsigned return type, but returns a negative constant to indicate an error condition. Each function is only called once. For nforce2_detect_chipset, the result is only compared to 0, and for longrun_determine_freqs, the result is stored in a variable of type (signed) int. Thus, for both functions, unsigned can be dropped from the return type. A sematic match that finds this problem is as follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/) // <smpl> @exists@ identifier f; constant C; @@ unsigned f(...) { <+... * return -C; ...+> } // </smpl> Signed-off-by: Julia Lawall <julia@diku.dk> Signed-off-by: Dave Jones <davej@redhat.com>
