Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 8 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 8 years ago 
What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. configure
2. make
3. compilation fails due to arithmetic on void*

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Should compile

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
bitstring v2.0.4 on Opensuse

Please provide any additional information below.
replaching void* with char * seems to fix it, see attached patch

Compilation does *not* fail for me.  What's the error message?

The error messages comes from the -Werror-pointer-arith flag I use:
bitstring_c.c: In function 
‘ocaml_bitstring_extract_fastpath_int16_be_unsigned’:
bitstring_c.c:83:1: error: pointer of type ‘void *’ used in arithmetic 
[-Werror=pointer-arith]

I pushed your patch (modified slightly to apply to the new code).
