I see the following compile error with an old bfin-uclinux gcc to
build GDBserver,
cc1: warnings being treated as errors
gdb/gdbserver/../nat/linux-ptrace.c: In function 'linux_fork_to_function':
gdb/gdbserver/../nat/linux-ptrace.c:283: error: passing argument 1 of 'clone' from incompatible pointer type
in glibc, clone's prototype is like this, and in uClibc, it is the same,
int clone(int (*fn)(void *), void *child_stack,
int flags, void *arg, ...
/* pid_t *ptid, struct user_desc *tls, pid_t *ctid */ );
so this patch changes function signature from 'void (*function) (gdb_byte *)'
to 'int (*function) (void *)'.
Note that I find Pedro advised to change argument type from 'void *'
to 'gdb_byte *' during the patch review
https://sourceware.org/ml/gdb-patches/2013-08/msg00611.html however,
I think fix compile error can justify the change back to 'void *'.
gdb:
2016-01-12 Yao Qi <yao.qi@linaro.org>
* nat/linux-ptrace.c (linux_fork_to_function): Change type
of argument 'function'.
(linux_grandchild_function): Change return type to 'int'.
Change child_stack's type to 'void *'.
(linux_child_function): Likewise.
