Subject: [PATCH] add casts to avoid arithmetic on void *
Date: Thu, 21 Apr 2016 04:44:00 -0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1461214254-29707-1-git-send-email-tbsaunde+binutils@tbsaunde.org> (raw)

From: Trevor Saunders <tbsaunde+binutils@tbsaunde.org>

Hi,

arithmetic on void * is undefined in ISO C, so we should avoid it.  In GNU C
sizeof void * is defined as 1, and that is pretty clearly what this code wants,
       so change it to do arithmetic on bfd_byte *.  Unfortunately most of the
       argument types come from virtual function interfaces so changing the
       types to bfd_byte * isn't trivial though it might make the code clearer.
       So for the moment its easiest to leave the variable types as void * and
       cast before doing arithmetic.

built --enable-targets=all, ok?
