The compiler error is: /usr/include/bluetooth/bluetooth.h::131:9: error: invalid conversion from 'void*' to 'bt_get_le64(void*)::<anonymous struct>*' ... The reason is that C++, in contrast to C, does not allow conversion of void * to anything, and this code gets compiled as C++ when the app is written in C++. The macro with the assignment itself is older, but only recent Bluez starts to use it in inline functions, thus triggering the problem. This patch keeps the "struct __attribute__((packed))" magic and merely changes the typecast so that it works in C and C++. Like the existing macro this patch relies on support for typeof. --- lib/bluetooth.h | 4 ++-- 1 files changed, 2 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) diff --git a/lib/bluetooth.h b/lib/bluetooth.h index 5bd4f03..2fee4ac 100644 --- a/lib/bluetooth.h +++ b/lib/bluetooth.h @@ -113,7 +113,7 @@ enum { ({ \ struct __attribute__((packed)) { \ typeof(*(ptr)) __v; \ - } *__p = (void *) (ptr); \ + } *__p = (typeof(__p)) (ptr); \ __p->__v; \ }) @@ -121,7 +121,7 @@ enum { do { \ struct __attribute__((packed)) { \ typeof(*(ptr)) __v; \ - } *__p = (void *) (ptr); \ + } *__p = (typeof(__p)) (ptr); \ __p->__v = (val); \ } while(0) -- 1.7.7.3 -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
