Subject: [PATCH 3/4] ndp: Fix Clang analyzer warning (clang-analyzer-security.PointerSub)
Date: Tue, 13 May 2025 11:41:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20250513094102.1372330-4-lvivier@redhat.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20250513094102.1372330-1-lvivier@redhat.com>

Addresses Clang warning: "Subtraction of two pointers that do not
point into the same array is undefined behavior" for the line:
  `ndp_send(c, dst, &ra, ptr - (unsigned char *)&ra);`

Here, `ptr` is `&ra.var[0]`. The subtraction calculates the offset
of `var[0]` within the `struct ra_options ra`. Since `ptr` points
inside `ra`, this pointer arithmetic is well-defined for
calculating the size of the data to send, even if `ptr` and `&ra`
are not strictly considered part of the same "array" by the analyzer.
