[PATCH v4 16/16] t/helper: don't depend on implicit wraparound

From
Patrick Steinhardt <ps@pks.im>
Date
Dec 6, 2024, 10:27 UTC
Message-ID
<20241206-pks-sign-compare-v4-16-0344c6dfb219@pks.im>
In-Reply-To
<20241206-pks-sign-compare-v4-0-0344c6dfb219@pks.im>

In our test helpers we have two cases where we assign -1 to an `unsigned long`. The intent is to essentially mean "unbounded output", which is achieved via implicit wraparound of the value.

This pattern causes warnings with -Wsign-compare though. Adapt it and instead use `ULONG_MAX` explicitly.
