I don't understand the comment in src/libFLAC/stream_decoder.c:

                /*@@@@@@ technically not pessimistic enough, should be more like
                if( (FLAC__uint64)order * ((((FLAC__uint64)1)<<bps)-1) * 
((1<<subframe->qlp_coeff_precision)-1) < (((FLAC__uint64)-1) << 32) )
                */
                if(bps + subframe->qlp_coeff_precision + 
FLAC__bitmath_ilog2(order) <= 32)


see

First, I suspect that there's a typo and the intended code is

                ... < (((FLAC__uint64)1) << 32) )

(without an unary minus).


Second, this condition (in algebraic form)

        order * (2^bps - 1) * (2^qlp_coeff_precision - 1) < 2^32

makes sense if qlp_coeff[] and data[] in FLAC__lpc_restore_signal() are
unsigned integers. But they are signed, and the condition should be

        order * 2^(bps-1) * 2^(qlp_coeff_precision-1) < 2^31

which is equivalent to the current

        bps + subframe->qlp_coeff_precision + FLAC__bitmath_ilog2(order) <= 32

So IMHO the comment is incorrect.
