Change len's type to ULONGEST: remote_write_bytes_aux
Hi, This patch changes the type of 'len' from ssize_t to ULONGEST. At the beginning Siddhesh Poyarekar proposed this patch [PATCH] Memory reads and writes should have size_t length https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2012-05/msg01073.html to change type of 'len' to size_t. However, after Jan's review, we decide to change it to ssize_t, because callers of these functions may pass signed type to them. AFAICS, the target layer is a boundary. In one side, we pass size_t or ssize_t to target related APIs, and in the other side, the implementation side, we used LONGEST (ULONGEST in latest code) because of to_xfer_partial. Since remote_write_bytes_aux and remote_write_bytes belong to the implementation of remote target, we should use ULONGEST for len, IMO. Regression tested on x86_64-linux. Is it OK? gdb: 2014-01-24 Yao Qi <yao@codesourcery.com> * remote.c (remote_write_bytes_aux): Change type of 'len' to ULONGEST. Don't check 'len' is negative. (remote_write_bytes): Change type of 'len' to ULONGEST.
