Subject[Patch v4 1/2] linux/build_bug.h: Change type to int
Date
Having BUILD_BUG_ON_ZERO produce a value of type size_t leads to awkward
casts in cases where the result needs to be signed, or of smaller type
than size_t. To avoid this, cast the value to int instead and rely on
implicit type conversions when a larger or unsigned type is needed.
