Red Hat Bugzilla – Bug 1347810
GCC fails when including libnl3 header
Last modified: 2016-11-03 15:22:56 EDT
Description of problem: Description taken from github patch. Issue is in attr.h: g++ is unable to compile code with nla_for_each_nested macro due to implicit type conversion from void* to nlattr*. This patch adds type casting for nla_for_each_nested macro to address this issue. Patch is available upstream. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): 3.2.21-10 (on CentOS7) How reproducible: every time Steps to Reproduce: 1. Build with gcc and include libnl3 headers Actual results: Compile error Expected results: No compile error Additional info: Patch (very short + simple) here: https://github.com/thom311/libnl/commit/cdf2d4baf376e4a3030a2c1169516358b4fba2e5 I have tested backporting that commit onto the current CentOS7 rpm package and it patches easily and works.
As mentioned, this is fixed upstream by commit https://github.com/thom311/libnl/commit/cdf2d4baf376e4a3030a2c1169516358b4fba2e5 As we rebase the libnl3 package for rhel-7.3, this fix is included ~automatically~.
