[Qemu-trivial] [PATCH] net/socket: Fix compiler warning (regression for MinGW)

[Qemu-trivial] [PATCH] net/socket: Fix compiler warning (regression for MinGW)

[Stefan Weil]

Add a type cast which was removed by commit
213fd5087e2e4e2da10ad266df0ba950cf7618bf again.

Without it, MinGW compilers complain:

net/socket.c:136: warning:
 pointer targets in passing argument 2 of ‘sendto’ differ in signedness
/usr/lib/gcc/amd64-mingw32msvc/4.4.4/../../../../amd64-mingw32msvc/include/winsock2.h:1313: note:
 expected ‘const char *’ but argument is of type ‘const uint8_t *’

Wow, that's messed up.  sendto() is POSIX and the prototype shouldn't be
const char *.

It's easy for someone to remove this cast in the future.  Please add a
comment explaining that it's needed because MinGW headers don't have the
POSIX version of sendto().

Thanks,
Stefan

There's qemu_recv() in qemu-common.h, for exactly the same purpose.
But qemu_recv() is much more evil, IMHO.

Thanks,

Thanks for the hint.

I already sent v2 of my patch (with a comment as suggested by Stefan H.).

Of course we could also add a qemu_sendto to qemu-common.h.
Is there anybody who would prefer that solution?

Stefan W.
