From bc4eb7e7df48e8f3d5daec2619e2835b4fc808e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Yunseong Kim Date: Fri, 22 Aug 2025 16:25:08 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] perf util: Fix compression checks returning -1 as bool [ Upstream commit 43fa1141e2c1af79c91aaa4df03e436c415a6fc3 ] The lzma_is_compressed and gzip_is_compressed functions are declared to return a "bool" type, but in case of an error (e.g., file open failure), they incorrectly returned -1. A bool type is a boolean value that is either true or false. Returning -1 for a bool return type can lead to unexpected behavior and may violate strict type-checking in some compilers. Fix the return value to be false in error cases, ensuring the function adheres to its declared return type improves for preventing potential bugs related to type mismatch.
