Subject: [U-Boot] __kernel_size_t vs size_t which to use
Date: Mon, 2 Nov 2015 20:41:13 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <563810B9.7020600@pukatronic.net> (raw)
hey folks,
busy list! Quick question.
I'm trying to build on ! linux and I'm just wondering about the
consistency of use of __kernel_size_t vs size_t use in the code base
what is 'correct'?
I end up with the a little bit of fallout when I build.
CC arch/arm/cpu/armv7/am33xx/board.o

../include/malloc.h:364:7: error: conflicting types for 'memset'
void* memset(void*, int, size_t);

In file included from ../include/common.h:22:0,
from ../arch/arm/cpu/armv7/am33xx/board.c:11:
../include/linux/string.h:78:15: note: previous declaration of 'memset'
was here
extern void * memset(void *,int,__kernel_size_t);
Quick examination shows we probably want to change the prototype in
include/malloc.h to be __kernel_size_t since the various machines
posix_types.h appear to be defining the correct width type to that
definition (most of the time anyway).
Is this the right thing to do?
Thanks!
