1 month ago interface_and_mtu_impl Errors on BSD During CI Execution
I have been working on extending the macOS code path to BSD systems, using the vmactions GitHub Actions to add CI support for these systems. To achieve this, I created a separate CI job specifically for BSD, following a similar build and test setup used in other CI/CD. The CI/CD implementation can be found in my fork in this commit
However, during the build, I encountered some type mismatch errors in the interface_and_mtu_impl function. These errors occur without any modifications to the lib.rs file — the only change was adding the BSD CI job.
The errors I received were:
error[E0308]: mismatched types
--> src/lib.rs:99:5
|
76 | pub fn interface_and_mtu<A>(addrs: A) -> Result<(String, usize), Error>
| -------------------------------------- expected `Result<(String, usize), Error>` because of return type
99 | interface_and_mtu_impl(&socket)
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ expected `Result<(String, usize), Error>`, found `Result<usize, Error>`The function is expecting a result with a tuple (String, usize), but the interface_and_mtu_impl is returning Result<usize, Error> instead.
Steps Taken:
- Added a separate BSD CI job using
vmactions(commit in fork). - Attempted to build the project locally on a FreeBSD virtual machine using Cargo, and encountered the same errors.
- No changes were made to the codebase (specifically
lib.rs), only the CI configuration. - Errors occur in the
interface_and_mtu_implfunction.

The macOS code path should roughly work on the BSDs, too. It would be good to confirm that, maybe by adding CI support based on https://github.com/vmactions for them and then work out any kinks.
