Bug 28969

Summary: IN6_IS_ADDR_* macros don't cast their arguments to const
Product: Base System Reporter: matthias.andree <matthias.andree>
Component: miscAssignee: Hajimu UMEMOTO <ume>
Status: Closed FIXED    
Severity: Affects Only Me

Description matthias.andree 2001-07-14 20:20:29 UTC 
IN6_IS_ADDR_V4MAPPED does some casts, but omits "const" from the cast, thus,

	if (IN6_IS_ADDR_V4MAPPED(
	    &((const struct sockaddr_in6 *)sa)->sin6_addr)) {

will cause bogus compiler warnings.

Fix: 

Fix the IN6_IS_ADDR_* macros to cast to const if they intend to only read.

It would probably be best to take this up with the KAME people, but maybe 
ume can help you with that.

Thank you for your report. 
It was already in 5-CURRENT and 4-STABLE.  You'll see it in 
next release.
