Given that the context is this:
if (count >= 0)
{
/* Verify that snprintf() has NUL-terminated its
result. */
if (count < maxlen
&& ((TCHAR_T *) (result + length)) [count] != '\0')
abort ();
wouldn't it be better to send the GCC maintainers a bug report?
Since maxlen is unsigned, and since it is obvious to
the compiler that count is nonnegative, there is no reason for
a sign-compare warning here.
