[RFC v3 2/5] cleanup: Fix discarded const warning when defining guard

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

 



When defining guards for const types the void* return implicitly
discards the const modifier. Be explicit about it.

Compiler warning (gcc 13.2.1):

./include/linux/cleanup.h:154:18: warning: return discards ‘const’ qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
  154 |         { return *_T; }
      |                  ^~~
./include/linux/cred.h:193:1: note: in expansion of macro ‘DEFINE_GUARD’
  193 | DEFINE_GUARD(cred, const struct cred *, _T = override_creds_light(_T),
      | ^~~~~~~~~~~~
