[9fans] Plan9 C conversion to unnamed member drops qualifiers

2025-03-25 Thread Alejandro Colomar via 9fans
Hi! GCC implements Plan9 C extensions, and has a bug by which it allows discarding qualifiers without a cast. I'm wondering if this is a bug only in GCC, or if it's a bug also in Plan9. Anyone using a Plan9 compiler can check this code and let me know if it diagnoses about the qualifier drop?
