warning: comparison of integer expressions of different signedness

[kinlougha]

Describe the bug
Receive this warning when compile OnStepX under VSCode:

In file included from .pio\libdeps\teensy41\RTC\src\RtcDateTime.cpp:29:
.pio\libdeps\teensy41\RTC\src\RtcDateTime.h: In member function 'RtcDateTime RtcDateTime::operator+(int32_t) const':
.pio\libdeps\teensy41\RTC\src\RtcDateTime.h:168:41: warning: comparison of integer expressions of different signedness: 'int32_t' {aka 'long int'} and 'uint32_t' {aka 'long unsigned int'} [-Wsign-compare]
168 | if (seconds < 0 && abs(seconds) > totalSeconds)

**Development environment

• OS: Window11
• Build Environment VSCode v1.89.0
• Board target Teensy 4.1
• Library version 2.4.2

Correction: Change "int32_t" for "uint32_t" on line 164 of RtcDateTime.h

Thanks.

That is not a correct fix. This is to support the ability for a statement like

int32_t offset = -60; // one hour back, may latter be changed to forward time
//blah blah
time += offset;

the abs() will need to be cast since it seems the platform you are using doesn't have a unsigned abs(signed) version for the compiler to select.

OK I understand, i open a case to PJRC with this info and close this case.

Thanks.

Hi Michael,

I test the solution, with the master branch, on 2 platforms (Teensy 4.1 and ESP32) and no more warning from the library.

This case is close for me.

Thanks.

Leave it open (its marked as Pending). I will close it when I publish the next update.

Sorry Michael, I leave it open, I understand.

Thanks.
