This error occurs on the current 3.0.x on aarch64

@7Ji FYI

[7Ji]

@kwankiu Strangely, pacman from vanilla Arch Linux on x86_64 and pacman from Arch Linux ARM on aarch64 pack the exactly same alpm.h and alpm_list.h, 1:1. Yet they would produce different bindgen for alpm-sys even on the same rust-bindgen, rust, clang and llvm-libs version.

The following is how ffi.rs would be generated differently on ALARM aarch64:

As a temporary workaround, projects using alpm.rs could enable its generate feature to generate the bindings on the fly, e.g. on one of my projects:

diff --git a/Cargo.toml b/Cargo.toml
index 32cacb3..71a9ac0 100644
--- a/Cargo.toml
+++ b/Cargo.toml
@@ -6,7 +6,7 @@ edition = "2021"

-alpm = "3.0"
+alpm = { version = "3.0", features = [ "generate" ] }
 blake2 = "0.10"
 crc = "3"
 env_logger = "0.10"

This would introduce a few deps both into the project and into system (pacman -S rust-bindgen would satisfy that)

[peterneutron]

@7Ji Builds successfully with proposed fix.

alpm = { version = "3.0.4", features = [ "generate" ] }
