The previous implementation of the TEST_COMPARE macro would fail
to compile code like this:
int ret = res_send (query, sizeof (query), buf, sizeof (buf));
TEST_COMPARE (ret,
sizeof (query)
+ 2 /* Compression reference. */
+ 2 + 2 + 4 + 2 /* Type, class, TTL, RDATA length. */
+ 1 /* Pascal-style string length. */
+ strlen (expected_name));
This resulted in a failed static assertion, "integer conversions
may alter sign of operands". A user of the TEST_COMPARE would have
to add a cast to fix this.
This patch reverts to the original proposed solution of a run-time
check, making TEST_COMPARE usable for comparisons of numbers with
types with different signedness in more contexts.
