rc: avoid undefined C
There are two bugs in pdec() on INT_MIN:
* wrong output.
`n = 1-n' should be `n = -1-n' when n is INT_MIN.
* infinite loop.
gcc optimizes `if(n>=0)' into `if(true)' because `-INT_MIN' (signed integer overflow) is undefined behavior in C, and gcc assumes the negation of a negative number must be positive. The resulting binary keeps printing '-' forever given INT_MIN.
Try the simplified pdec.c below.
$ gcc pdec.c
$ ./a.out -2147483648
--214748364*
$ gcc pdec.c -O2
$ ./a.out -2147483648
<infinite loop>
$ gcc pdec.c -O2 -D__PATCH__
$ ./a.out -2147483648
-2147483648
=== pdec.c ===

pchr(f, n%10+'1');
return;

pchr(f, n%10+'0');
}
int main(int argc, char **argv)
{
int n = atoi(argv[1]);
pdec(NULL, n);
putchar('\n');
}
