/home/agreen/projects/dpdk/lib/librte_table/rte_table_hash_cuckoo.c:110:16: error: cast between incompatible function types from ‘rte_table_hash_op_hash’ {aka ‘long unsigned int (*)(void *, void *, unsigned int, long unsigned int)’} to ‘uint32_t (*)(const void *, uint32_t, uint32_t)’ {aka ‘unsigned int (*)(const void *, unsigned int, unsigned int)’} [-Werror=cast-function-type]
.hash_func = (rte_hash_function)(p->f_hash),
The code seems to be quite broken.
It's casting this
typedef uint64_t (*rte_table_hash_op_hash)(
void *key,
void *key_mask,
uint32_t key_size,
uint64_t seed);
to this
typedef uint32_t (*rte_hash_function)(const void *key, uint32_t key_len,
uint32_t init_val);
if the definition with 4 args is later called with a pointer
giving it three args, obviously it working is just an accident. I
grepped around a bit and could not see it being cast back to
the original type before use; the uses I saw have three args.
I simply patch it to stop the build breaking, rather than fix it,
since I am not sure what a fix should look like considering the
whole code.
