[PATCH 4/6] tools/nolibc: fix integer overflow in i{64,}toa_r() and

From: Thomas Weißschuh
Date: Wed Apr 16 2025 - 14:41:04 EST


In twos complement the most negative number can not be negated.

Fixes: b1c21e7d99cd ("tools/nolibc/stdlib: add i64toa() and u64toa()")
Fixes: 66c397c4d2e1 ("tools/nolibc/stdlib: replace the ltoa() function with more efficient ones")
