This cast was made by purpose for older libbpf where the bpf_object_skeleton field is void * instead of const void * to eliminate a warning (as i understand -Wincompatible-pointer-types-discards-qualifiers) but this cast introduces another warning (-Wcast-qual) for libbpf where data field is const void * It makes sense for bpftool to be in sync with libbpf from kernel sources Signed-off-by: Denys Zagorui <dzagorui@xxxxxxxxx> --- tools/bpf/bpftool/gen.c | 2 +- 1 file changed, 1 insertion(+), 1 deletion(-) diff --git a/tools/bpf/bpftool/gen.c b/tools/bpf/bpftool/gen.c index 2883660d6b67..04c47745b3ea 100644 --- a/tools/bpf/bpftool/gen.c +++ b/tools/bpf/bpftool/gen.c @@ -1209,7 +1209,7 @@ static int do_skeleton(int argc, char **argv) codegen("\ \n\ \n\ - s->data = (void *)%2$s__elf_bytes(&s->data_sz); \n\ + s->data = %2$s__elf_bytes(&s->data_sz); \n\ \n\ obj->skeleton = s; \n\ return 0; \n\ -- 2.35.6
