[GEN][ZH] Fix compiler warnings for signed/unsigned mismatch of loop indices #804

Mauller · 2025-05-03T16:31:29Z

This PR fixes loop index comparison warnings by matching the data type of the loop index to match the comparison values data type.

TODO:

Replicate in Generals.

If you are going to change int to an unsigned type then I think std::size_t would be more appropriate and in line with standard conventions. Where range loops can be used then they should be preferred

xezon

Looks fairly safe, but I suggest to give it a test for mismatch, especially with a focus on USA Countermeasures.

size_t is identical to std::size_t.

I wonder if this will call strlen on every iteration...

Yeah i think the VC6 version may do that but modern MSVC would likely compile it out as a constant.

Another strlen in condition...

yeah... i didn't want to change too much.

I hope this will produce the same float value below.

In theory it should as the raw binary values of positive signed int and unsigned int values are the same up to 2.7 billion at least.

This changes 34% of assembler in CountermeasuresBehaviour::launchVolley.

interesting how it changes that much when the index is only used in one place.

Updated this with the inclusion of a cast that was missing in one of the loops.

Mauller · 2025-05-04T16:41:16Z

Just rebased off recent main after the other warning fixes were merged.

Mauller · 2025-05-04T18:34:22Z

Just ran Golden Replay 1 against this with the VC6 build and it did not mismatch.
Not sure if countermeasures were explicitly used by any of the USA players. But they were using every vehicles in the game during the test.

So I think the changes are fairly safe, i can replicate the changes to generals if people are happy.

xezon

unassemblize shows significant assembler changes in the following 4 functions. I suggest to focus mismatch test on functionality related to these.

ScriptActions::doMoveTeamTowardsNearest
DeliverPayloadNugget::create
W3DLaserDraw::W3DLaserDraw
CountermeasuresBehaviour::launchVolley

This creates a strange diff in ScriptActions::doMoveTeamTowardsNearest

yeah i don't get that, if anything i would have through that most code changes would be reduction in code due to not needing to perform some casts.

It looks as if the function call has changed, but perhaps it is just an error in the tool.

thats interesting, you would think it would just be a few casts that got changed since segment is only used it one place within the function

This needs resolving, replicating, and a bit of testing.

ok, tested vc6 with usa airforce gen. no problems with countermeasures.
