Its the opposite. Its easy to write such a loop with unsigned ints: for(x=top;x<=top;x--). However you can't reliably write a loop spanning the whole space with signed ints without breaking the no-overflow rules. With…
Then you must have a look at the amazing elastic binary trees used in haproxy, the article describes their properties quite well in terms of binary search: https://wtarreau.blogspot.com/2011/12/elastic-binary-trees-e...…
