Nope...
Tried also to add a volatile... nope...
Let me see the macro...
struct cmsghdr {
size_t cmsg_len;
int cmsg_level;
int cmsg_type;
__extension__ unsigned char __cmsg_data [];
};
...
struct msghdr msg;
...
struct cmsghdr *cmsg;
...
cmsg = ((size_t) (&msg)->msg_controllen >= sizeof (struct cmsghdr) ? (struct cmsghdr *) (&msg)->msg_control : (struct cmsghdr *) 0);
...
*fd = *((int *) (( cmsg)->__cmsg_data));
No (simple solutions). I know the may_alias attribute but after checking for __GNUC__ and other stuff
looks like memcpy looks better.
