[PATCH] selftests/bpf: ignore pointer types check with clang

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Building bpf selftests with clang can trigger errors like the following:

  CLNG-BPF [test_maps] bpf_iter_netlink.bpf.o
progs/bpf_iter_netlink.c:32:4: error: incompatible pointer types assigning to 'struct sock *' from 'struct sock___17 *' [-Werror,-Wincompatible-pointer-types]
        s = &nlk->sk;
          ^ ~~~~~~~~
1 error generated.

This is due to the fact that bpftool emits duplicate data types with
different names in vmlinux.h (i.e., `struct sock` in this case) and
these types, despite having a different name, represent in fact the same
object.

Add -Wno-incompatible-pointer-types to CLANG_CLAGS to prevent these
errors.
