TargetProperties.td had a few settings listed as signed integral values, but the Target.cpp methods reading those values were reading them as unsigned. e.g. target.max-memory-read-size, some accesses of target.max-children-count, still today, previously target.max-string-summary-length. After Jonas' change to use templates to read these values in https://reviews.llvm.org/D149774, when the code tried to fetch these values, we'd eventually end up calling OptionValue::GetAsUInt64 which checks that the value is actually a UInt64 before returning it; finding that it was an SInt64, it would drop the user setting and return the default value. This manifested as a bug that target.max-memory-read-size is never used for memory read. target.max-children-count is less straightforward, where one read of that setting was fetching it as an int64_t, the other as a uint64_t. I suspect all of these settings were originally marked as SInt64 so a user could do -1 for "infinite", getting it static_cast to a UINT64_MAX value along the way. I can't find any documentation for this behavior, but it seems like something Greg would have done. We've partially lost that behavior already via https://github.com/llvm/llvm-project/pull/72233 for target.max-string-summary-length, and this further removes it. We're still fetching UInt64's and returning them as uint32_t's but I'm not overly pressed about someone setting a count/size limit over 4GB. I added a simple API test for the memory read setting limit.
