Hello everyone, Thank you for reverting the patch. I should have tested building on more platforms. I can fix the pieces of code highlighted by the -Wpointer-arith flag on ARM platforms. For now I saw 10-15 places that would need to be modified. If this is not a huge task I will try to do it for other platforms.

Change the tool_def.txt firstly and push platform owner to fix the corresponding firmware code, or changing the tool_def.txt later, until this change will not break any platform build? -----Original Message----- From: Leif Lindholm <l...@nuviainc.com> Sent: Thursday, July 23, 2020 5:33 PM To: devel@edk2.groups.io; af...@apple.com Cc: Feng, Bob C <bob.c.f...@intel.com>; PierreGondois <pierre.gond...@arm.com>; Gao, Liming <liming....@intel.com>; to...@nuviainc.com Subject: Re: [edk2-devel] [PATCH V2 1/2] BaseTools: Add gcc flag to warn on void* pointer arithmetic Hi Andrew, Agreed. I also think this should be applied across all architectures, not just ARM/AARCH64. Since Visual Studio has never been been able to compile the affected code, I expect impact to Ia32/X64 to be minimal.
