Hi,
The reason this bug doesn't show up in the test suite is that it
doesn't have an effect on the output. The purpose of the
UN8_rb_ADD_UN8_rb macro is to add two numbers like these:
00aa00bb
00cc00dd
together, but to saturate aa+cc and bb+dd to 0xff instead of allowing
them to overflow. Let's pretend that bb and dd are both zero and focus
on aa+cc. If that addition does in fact overflow (ie., if aa+cc >
0xff), the result looks like this:
01??0000
The macro first detects the overflow shifting this value by 8 and
masking to 0x00ff00ff:
00010000
Then it subtracts this from the RB_MASK_PLUS_ONE value:
with bug: 10000000 - 00010000 = 0fff0000
with bug fix: 01000000 - 00010000 = 00ff0000
The macro then ors this value with the original sum:
with bug: 0fff0000 | 01??0000 = 0fff0000
with bug fix: 00ff0000 | 01??0000 = 01ff0000
But then it masks the result with 00ff00ff, and so both with and
without the bug, the final result is the same:
00ff0000
which is why the bug doesn't affect the calculation.
