I'm not sure this is the right place for this? Can it be placed near the call
site for function instead?

Also, you could probably simplify it to something like
return static_cast<uint16_t>(std::min(time_ms - base_ms,
std::numeric_limits<uint16_t>::max()));

And add a comment as to its purpose.

It's called by "modules/rtp_rtcp/source/rtp_packet_to_send.cc" and
"video/payload_router.cc".

What do you suppose would be a better place for it? It's only used to fill this
data structure, so I am not sure, where to put it.

I have added the clarifying comment.

I tried to do it with std::min at first, but it requires additional cast to make
both arguments of min() the same type. Overall, it's longer and harder to read,
I like this version more.

There's also rtc::SafeMin and rtc::SafeMax (added by kwiberg a few weeks ago).

[kwiberg-webrtc, 2017/06/02 12:37:12]

Yes---those will accept any two integer types, and either automatically choose a
suitable return type or statically verify that the return type you ask for is
suitable. See the docs in base/safe_minmax.h.

In this case, you should be able to replace lines 30-33 with

  return rtc::SafeMin<uint16_t>(time_ms - base_ms,
                                std::numeric_limits<uint16_t>::max());

The compiler will complain if it can't prove that the result will always fit in
an uint16_t.

(I'll announce these soon, but I'd like to land their buddy SafeClamp first, so
that I don't have to write more than one PSA.)

For the specific case of clamping to the limits of a built-in integer type,
however, there's also rtc::saturated_cast:

  return rtc::saturated_cast<uint16_t>(time_ms - base_ms);

That's probably what you should use here.

Done.
