I just made a mistake with an unsigned integer. It took me nearly an hour to debug, just to find that the subtle bug is caused by this:
if (a<b-2) ...
a = 0 b = 1
b is an unsigned integer.
The reason is that b-2 is interpreted as unsigned integer, and therefore the predicate wrong. The conclusion is that we should avoid using many minuses for unsigned.
if (a+2<b) is the solution for this problem
