Bug #5833: [mingw] trivial patch for thread.c build warning
https://bugs.ruby-lang.org/issues/5833

Author: Jon Forums
Status: Open
Priority: Normal
Assignee: 
Category: core
Target version: 2.0.0
ruby -v: ruby 2.0.0dev (2011-12-31 trunk 34165) [i386-mingw32]


When building with MinGW (not Windows SDK) on Win7 I get the following:

compiling ../../../../Users/Jon/Documents/RubyDev/ruby-git/thread.c
../../../../Users/Jon/Documents/RubyDev/ruby-git/thread.c: In function 'rb_fd_rcopy':
../../../../Users/Jon/Documents/RubyDev/ruby-git/thread.c:2471:33: warning: comparison between signed and unsigned integer expressions [-Wsign-compare]


Below is a trivial patch that fixes the warning on MinGW. The patch successfully builds and tests with MinGW and Windows SDK on Win7 32bit. When building on Arch Linux, the patched build gives the same `make test && make test-all` results (6 errors, 45 skips) as an unpatched build. In all other uses in `thread.c` (except for `rb_fd_rcopy`) the `rb_fd_max` macro generates a `size_t` object. From what I can tell, use cases are all unsigned int's.
