This patch fixes the following error: arpd.c:442:17: error: initialization of 'int' from 'void *' makes integer from pointer without a cast [-Wint-conversion] 442 | NULL, 0, raised by Buildroot autobuilder [1]. In the case in question, the analysis of socket.h [2] containing the msghdr structure shows that it has been modified with the addition of padding fields, which cause the compilation error. The use of designated initializers allows the issue to be fixed. struct msghdr { void *msg_name; socklen_t msg_namelen; struct iovec *msg_iov; #if __LONG_MAX > 0x7fffffff && __BYTE_ORDER == __BIG_ENDIAN int __pad1; #endif int msg_iovlen; #if __LONG_MAX > 0x7fffffff && __BYTE_ORDER == __LITTLE_ENDIAN int __pad1; #endif void *msg_control; #if __LONG_MAX > 0x7fffffff && __BYTE_ORDER == __BIG_ENDIAN int __pad2; #endif socklen_t msg_controllen; #if __LONG_MAX > 0x7fffffff && __BYTE_ORDER == __LITTLE_ENDIAN int __pad2; #endif int msg_flags; }; [1] http://autobuild.buildroot.org/results/e4cdfa38ae9578992f1c0ff5c4edae3cc0836e3c/ [2] iproute2/host/mips64-buildroot-linux-musl/sysroot/usr/include/sys/socket.h Signed-off-by: Dario Binacchi <dario.binacchi@amarulasolutions.com> --- misc/arpd.c | 8 ++++---- 1 file changed, 4 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)
