Hi,

Removing legitimate warnings can it be worth it?

-1 CAST can be wrong, when there is an invalid value defined
(InvalidBucket, InvalidBlockNumber).
I think depending on the compiler -1 CAST may be different from
InvalidBucket or InvalidBlockNumber.

pg_rewind is one special case.
All cases of XLogSegNo (uint64) initialization are zero, but in pg_rewind
was used -1?
I did not find it InvalidXLogSegNo!
Not tested.

Trivial patch attached.

best regards,
Ranier Vilela
