Subject: [PATCH 4/7] libbpf: Return const btf_member from btf_members inline function
Date: Fri,  6 Sep 2019 09:31:41 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20190906073144.31068-5-jolsa@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20190906073144.31068-1-jolsa@kernel.org>

I'm getting following errors when compiling with -Wcast-qual:

  bpf/btf.h: In function ‘btf_member* btf_members(const btf_type*)’:
  bpf/btf.h:264:36: warning: cast from type ‘const btf_type*’ to type
  ‘btf_member*’ casts away qualifiers [-Wcast-qual]
    264 |  return (struct btf_member *)(t + 1);
        |                                    ^

The argument is const so the cast to following struct btf_member
pointer should be const as well. Casting the const away in btf.c
call where it's correctly used without const in deduplication
code.
