The code in CONV_NATURAL_FLOAT() and CLIP_NATURAL_FLOAT()
seems to use the constant 2^31-0.5 to convert float to integer
and back. But the float type lacks the required precision and
the constant used for the conversion is 2^31. This is equiva-
lent to a [-1.f, 1.f] <-> [INT32_MIN, INT32_MAX + 1] mapping.
This patch explicitly writes down the used constant. The
compiler generated code doesn't change.
The constant 2^31 has an exact float representation and the
clang 10 compiler stops complaining about an implicit int to
float conversion with a changed value.
A few notes:
- The conversion of 1.f to INT32_MAX + 1 doesn't overflow. The
type of the destination variable is int64_t.
- At a later stage one of the clip_* functions in
audio/mixeng_template.h limits INT32_MAX + 1 to the integer
range.
- The clip_natural_float_* functions in audio/mixeng.c convert
INT32_MAX and INT32_MAX + 1 to 1.f.
