Re: [PATCHv2] selftests: timens: exec: use 'labs()' over 'abs()'

On Wed, Nov 10, 2021 at 10:04 AM Anders Roxell anders.roxell@linaro.org wrote:

When building selftests/timens with clang, the compiler warn about the function abs() see below:

exec.c:33:8: error: absolute value function 'abs' given an argument of type 'long' but has parameter of type 'int' which may cause truncation of value [-Werror,-Wabsolute-value] if (abs(tst.tv_sec - now.tv_sec) > 5) ^ exec.c:33:8: note: use function 'labs' instead if (abs(tst.tv_sec - now.tv_sec) > 5) ^~~ labs

Rework to store the time difference in a 'long long' and pass that to llabs(), since the variable can be an 'int', 'long' or 'long long' depending on the architecture and C library.
