Subject: [PATCH] eal: fix pointer add/sub macros for large offsets values
Date: Fri, 11 Sep 2026 17:40:29 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260911164030.2465043-1-bruce.richardson@intel.com> (raw)
The macros for adding or subtracting from pointers cast the pointer type
to uintptr_t before doing the arithmetic. However, for 32-bit builds, if
the value being added or subtracted is larger than uintptr_t, then we
get errors when casting back to "void *" type. We fix this by casting
the result to uintptr_t before casting to pointer.
Fixes: af75078fece3 ("first public release")
