	* hex.c (_hex_value): Make this unsigned.
	(hex_value): Update documentation for new return type.  hex_value
	now expands to an unsigned int expression, to avoid unexpected
	sign extension when we store it in a bfd_vma, which is larger than
	int on some platforms.
	* functions.texi: Regenerated.

	* libiberty.h (hex_value): Make the value an unsigned int, to
	avoid unexpected sign-extension when cast to unsigned types larger
	than int --- like bfd_vma, on some platforms.
	(_hex_value): Update declaration.

Returns the numeric equivalent of the given character when interpreted
as a hexidecimal digit. The result is undefined if you pass an
invalid hex digit. Note that the value you pass will be cast to
@code{unsigned char} within the macro.
The @code{hex_value} macro returns @code{unsigned int}, rather than
signed @code{int}, to make it easier to use in parsing addresses from
hex dump files: a signed @code{int} would be sign-extended when
converted to a wider unsigned type --- like @code{bfd_vma}, on some
systems.
