Subject: [PATCH net-next] selftests: net: tcp_ao: make the netstat column pointer const
Date: Tue, 3 Nov 2026 11:54:19 -0500 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20261103165419.687806-6-sashal@kernel.org> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20261103165419.687806-1-sashal@kernel.org>
lookup_get_column() stores the result of strchr() on a const string in
a plain char pointer. Since glibc 2.43, strchr() returns a const char
pointer for a const argument when C23 features are enabled, as they
are with _GNU_SOURCE, so gcc and clang warn:
lib/proc.c:61:16: warning: assignment discards 'const' qualifier from pointer target type [-Wdiscarded-qualifiers]
The pointer is only used to compute the length, so make it const.
Signed-off-by: Sasha Levin <sashal@kernel.org>

Found with gcc 16 and clang 21 on glibc 2.43; KernelCI's gcc 15 builds
show the same warning.
