may be use < 0 || >= 1000000000L and avoid the cast.
there is a similar issue in src/thread/pthread_cond_timedwait.c as well

This is not a bug but intentional usage of the language.

Thank you for that.  I'll resubmit changing both instances.

In this case, the POSIX spec requires nt_nsec to be a long (
https://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/time.h.html
).  Either way, a good optimizer should convert this into an unsigned
compare.  My early years in 6502 assembly sort-of shapes my thinking, as
I try to write higher level code as similarly to the assembly I presume
the compiler will emit.  But if the project has a strong preference to
avoid casts, I can change it.

Thanks!
Daniel

I believe the C language says the signed value gets promoted to an
unsigned value. I don't believe the optimizer has anything to do with
it.

That's why -1 is greater than 1 in C:

    int x = -1;
    unsigned int y = 1;
    if (x > y)
        printf("WTF???\n");

Yes, I was referring to Khem's suggestion:

may be use < 0 || >= 1000000000L and avoid the cast.

The optimizer should convert this into a single unsigned compare on just
about any modern processor (e.g., two's compliment).

I suppose the real solution is to not add -Wextra to CFLAGS unless you
add -Wno-sign-compare, as musl intentionally uses this promotion rule.

Thanks!
Daniel
