Subject: [PATCH 08/11] ovmf: Fix memcpy alias prototype for clang 23
Date: Sun, 30 Aug 2026 18:28:48 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260830125853.1139807-9-sunilkumar.dora@windriver.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260830125853.1139807-1-sunilkumar.dora@windriver.com>
From: Sunil Dora <sunilkumar.dora@windriver.com>
The memcpy alias in CryptoPkg's IntrinsicLib declares its size
parameter as unsigned int while the aliasee uses size_t. clang 23
diagnoses that through the new -Wattribute-alias, which the CLANGDWARF
build's -Werror turns into
CopyMem.c:29:17: error: alias and aliasee have different types
'void *(void *, const void *, unsigned int)' and
'void *(void *, const void *, size_t)' [-Werror,-Wattribute-alias]
Declare the alias with size_t to match.

+Subject: [PATCH] CryptoPkg/IntrinsicLib: fix memcpy alias prototype for clang
+
+The clang-only memcpy alias declares its size parameter as unsigned int
+while the __memcpy aliasee uses size_t (UINTN, unsigned long long on
+X64). clang 23 diagnoses mismatched alias/aliasee types via the new
+-Wattribute-alias warning, which the CLANGDWARF build's -Werror turns
+into a hard error:
+
+ CopyMem.c:29:17: error: alias and aliasee have different types
+ 'void *(void *, const void *, unsigned int)' and
+ 'void *(void *, const void *, size_t)' [-Werror,-Wattribute-alias]
+
+Declare the alias with size_t, matching the aliasee on every
+architecture (UINTN is unsigned int on IA32, unsigned long long on X64).
