Subject: [dpdk-dev] [PATCH v3 02/10] mbuf: silence -Wcast-align on pointer arithmetic
Date: Fri, 19 Jun 2015 11:57:04 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1434740232-10954-3-git-send-email-cchemparathy@ezchip.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1434740232-10954-1-git-send-email-cchemparathy@ezchip.com>

Translating from an mbuf element to the mbuf pointer does not break alignment
constraints.  However, the compiler is unaware of this fact and complains on
-Wcast-align.  This patch modifies the code to use RTE_PTR_SUB(), thereby
silencing the compiler by casting through (void *).
