Subject: [PATCH] uapi: Fix userspace compilation of ip_tables.h/ip6_tables.h in C++ mode
Date: Tue, 25 Oct 2016 17:03:25 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20161025230325.GA14955@obsidianresearch.com> (raw)
The implicit cast from void * is not allowed for C++ compilers, and the
arithmetic on void * generates warnings if a C++ application tries to include
these UAPI headers.
$ g++ -c t.cc
ip_tables.h:221:24: warning: pointer of type 'void *' used in arithmetic
ip_tables.h:221:24: error: invalid conversion from 'void*' to 'xt_entry_target*'
