According to ISO C11, section 6.5.3.3 "Unary arithmetic operators", the
result of the ~ operator is the bitwise complement of its (promoted)
operand.
This can lead to a comparison of a char with another integer type.
Tested on powerpc, powerpc64 and powerpc64le.
* malloc/tst-alloc_buffer.c (test_misaligned): Cast to char
before comparing with another char.
This commit adds fixed-size allocation buffers. The primary use
case is in NSS modules, where dynamically sized data is stored
in a fixed-size buffer provided by the caller.
Other uses include a replacement of mempcpy cascades (which is
safer due to the size checking inherent to allocation buffers).
