Leif,
I also noticed we would need this flag for clang/Xcode too.
~/work/Compiler>clang -S void.c
~/work/Compiler>clang -S void.c -Wpointer-arith
void.c:4:14: warning: arithmetic on a pointer to void is a GNU extension
[-Wpointer-arith]
return Arg + 1;
~~~ ^
1 warning generated.
~/work/Compiler>cat void.c
void *
Test (void *Arg)
{
return Arg + 1;
}
Thanks,
Andrew Fish
