length is of type size_t, which is an unsigned type, so checking it against < 0 is useless. Also if length == 0 you should just return 0.

C
if ( length == 0)
    return 0;

Is IMO the correct fix. Although the code is already functionally correct because it returns 0 when length == 0, which is fine.

I updated the diff. Your call if you want to commit the change or leave it as it is.

This revision is now accepted and ready to land.Jul 30 2018, 10:48 AM
