Description of problem:

Hello there,

I have just tried to compile package rsync-2.5.5-1 from Redhat 8.0

Here are some of the messages the compiler produces

cc: Info: token.c, line 200: In this statement, the right shift count "8" is greater than or equal to the size of the unpromoted operand "(char)n". 
(rightshiftovr)

Here is an untested patch to shut up the compiler.

./token.c.old ./token.c
*** ./token.c.old	Wed Dec 25 10:15:44 2002
--- ./token.c	Wed Dec 25 10:16:08 2002
***************
*** 197,203 ****
  			write_byte(f, n >> 8);
  			if (write_batch) { /* dw */
  			    write_batch_delta_file((char *)&n,sizeof(char));
! 			    temp_byte = (char) n >> 8;
  			    write_batch_delta_file(&temp_byte,sizeof(temp_byte));
  			}
  		}
--- 197,203 ----
  			write_byte(f, n >> 8);
  			if (write_batch) { /* dw */
  			    write_batch_delta_file((char *)&n,sizeof(char));
! 			    temp_byte = (char) (n >> 8);
  			    write_batch_delta_file(&temp_byte,sizeof(temp_byte));
  			}
  		}

How reproducible:
Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. compile with any C compiler that sanity checks shift counts, for example Compaq C.
2.
3.

Comment 1 Jay Fenlason 2004-01-06 15:29:46 UTC
This fix was included in 2.6.0, which should be avaliable in RawHide 
now.  A further fix that corrects the code on big-endian machines has 
been committed to upstream CVS and should be included in 2.6.1.
