Including libfdt.h in a C++ project fails during compilation with recent version of GCC or Clang. This simple example: extern "C" { #include <libfdt.h> } int main(void) { return 0; } leads to the following errors with GCC 9.1.0: /usr/include/libfdt.h: In function ‘void fdt32_st(void*, uint32_t)’: /usr/include/libfdt.h:139:16: error: invalid conversion from ‘void*’ to ‘uint8_t*’ {aka ‘unsigned char*’} [-fpermissive] 139 | uint8_t *bp = property; | ^~~~~~~~ | | | void* /usr/include/libfdt.h: In function ‘void fdt64_st(void*, uint64_t)’: /usr/include/libfdt.h:163:16: error: invalid conversion from ‘void*’ to ‘uint8_t*’ {aka ‘unsigned char*’} [-fpermissive] 163 | uint8_t *bp = property; | ^~~~~~~~ | | | void* This commit adds an explicit cast to uint8_t* to fix this issue.
