Subject: [PATCH 2/5] cppcheck: Add workaround for cppcheck bug 14847
Date: Mon, 15 Jun 2026 18:18:30 +1000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260615081833.1061725-3-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260615081833.1061725-1-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
It seems the function pointer argument confuses cppcheck 2.21.0 (at least),
causing it to think do_clone()'s definition has different argument names
than it's declaration, even though that's not the case. I made a minimal
reproducer and filed a cppcheck bug for this (see link). In the meanwhile
work around it with an explicit suppression.
