unsigned char promotes to int, which can overflow when shifted left by 24 bits or more. this has been reported multiple times but then forgotten. it's expected to be benign UB, but can trap when built with explicit overflow catching (ubsan or similar). fix it now. note that promotion to uint32_t is safe and portable even outside of the assumptions usually made in musl, since either uint32_t has rank at least unsigned int, so that no further default promotions happen, or int is wide enough that the shift can't overflow. this is a desirable property to have in case someone wants to reuse the code elsewhere.
musl libc
musl, pronounced like the word "mussel", is an MIT-licensed
implementation of the standard C library targetting the Linux syscall
API, suitable for use in a wide range of deployment environments. musl
offers efficient static and dynamic linking support, lightweight code
and low runtime overhead, strong fail-safe guarantees under correct
usage, and correctness in the sense of standards conformance and
safety. musl is built on the principle that these goals are best
achieved through simple code that is easy to understand and maintain.
The 1.1 release series for musl features coverage for all interfaces
defined in ISO C99 and POSIX 2008 base, along with a number of
non-standardized interfaces for compatibility with Linux, BSD, and
glibc functionality.
For basic installation instructions, see the included INSTALL file.
Information on full musl-targeted compiler toolchains, system
bootstrapping, and Linux distributions built on musl can be found on
