[RFC][PATCH] libdrm: gralloc_handle.h: Fix build issue with Android

[John Stultz]

In trying to integrate the new gralloc_handle.h with the
drm_hwcomposer, I started seeing the following compilation
errors:

In file included from external/drm_hwcomposer/platformdrmgeneric.cpp:28:
external/libdrm/android/gralloc_handle.h:108:9: error: cannot initialize return object of type 'native_handle_t *' (aka 'native_handle *') with an lvalue of type 'struct gralloc_handle_t *'
        return handle;
               ^~~~~~
1 error generated.

This seems to be due to the gralloc_handle_create() definition
claiming to return a native_handle_t * type, rather then a
gralloc_handle_t *, which is what the code actually returns.

This function isn't actually used in the current drm_hwcomposer,
so I'm not totally sure that this fix is correct (rather then
returning the gralloc_handle_t's embadedded native_handle_t ptr).

But it seems something like this is needed.

This changed in 009634e49309 ("android: fix gralloc_handle_create() problems")
to make the return value from gralloc_handle_create opaque to its user.

Since the only one that would use gralloc_handle_create is the gralloc
implementation itself (and libdrm isn't one) and using getters/setters was
rejected (IIRC), I would think there is no reason to obscure the return type.
Since buffer_handle_t is native_handle_t* is gralloc_handle_t* it's also
correct. The alternative to changing the declaration here is returning
nhandle instead of handle.

Adding Rob Herring who authored 009634e49309.

Thanks,
Stefan

The gralloc_handle_t regturn type seems to be the correct one to me.

Somehow this is not throwing an error for me...

Not rejected, just not required at the start and not in a lib. And I
am working on adding helper functions and I'm using buffer_handle_t
everywhere.

BTW, returning buffer_handle_t doesn't work though because it is const.

NM. I have it fixed in a subsequent change in my tree...

Hi,
I saw the same error after updated to libdrm master branch.
Could John's fix be merged?
Or maybe Rob has a better fix?

[Robert Foss]

Hey John,

Yeah, the return type should be changed.

robher: Do you have any preferences?

[RFC][PATCH] libdrm: gralloc_handle.h: Fix build issue with Android

[John Stultz]

In trying to integrate the new gralloc_handle.h with the
drm_hwcomposer, I started seeing the following compilation
errors:

In file included from external/drm_hwcomposer/platformdrmgeneric.cpp:28:
external/libdrm/android/gralloc_handle.h:108:9: error: cannot initialize return object of type 'native_handle_t *' (aka 'native_handle *') with an lvalue of type 'struct gralloc_handle_t *'
        return handle;
               ^~~~~~
1 error generated.

This seems to be due to the gralloc_handle_create() definition
claiming to return a native_handle_t * type, rather then a
gralloc_handle_t *, which is what the code actually returns.

This function isn't actually used in the current drm_hwcomposer,
so I'm not totally sure that this fix is correct (rather then
returning the gralloc_handle_t's embadedded native_handle_t ptr).

But it seems something like this is needed.
