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.
