Subject: [9fans] pcc: new option to convert implicitly between char* and uchar*
Date: Wed, 26 May 2021 05:57:54 +0900 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <CAFMepckyDA4+9onk8EwFek5ROnpitOvbZpbT0i_9n3+8Tj5KcA@mail.gmail.com> (raw)
Hi.
I'm trying to add a new option for pcc as -u to convert implicitly
between char* and uchar*.
In sources of LibreSSL Portable (actually, a lot of the sources is a
copy of a part of OpenBSD), there are many many assignments that is
uchar* to char*, or char* to uchar* without type casting. Two years
ago, because I wanted to use Git, I created a patch[^1] to compile the
sources in native Plan 9 + APE. its patch was containing many type
castings like:
pwri_tmp = (unsigned char*)strdup((char*)pwri_pass);
[^1]: The patch in that time here.
https://github.com/libressl-portable/portable/pull/510.diff
However I realized it was hard to update the patch continuously with
tracking changes of sources of LibreSSL. So I'm trying to add the -u
option to pcc.

Do you have any good ideas for this?
