Hi,
in several places in ipfw2.c i have to move pointers across
structures of variable length (lists of ipfw2 instructions
returned by the getsockopt()), and i use the following type of code:
void *next;
foo *p;
...
next = (void *)p + len;
...
foo = (foo *)p + len;
When using WARNS=5, the compiler in -current flags them with 'Warning
void * arithmetic'.
What is the best way to do the above given that i do need to use
these variable-size structures ?
cheers
luigi
