Getting this error with meson build system, since "-fno-strict-aliasing" is not
added to meson build file. BUT instead of disabling compiler warning,
first element of the "struct vring_used_elem ring[0]" is "uint32_t id;", so it
should be accessed as uint32_t. What about following:
#define vhost_avail_event(vr) \
- (*(volatile uint16_t*)&(vr)->used->ring[(vr)->size])
+ (*(volatile uint32_t*)&(vr)->used->ring[(vr)->size])
And for "vhost_avail_event(vq) = vq->last_avail_idx;", "last_avail_idx" is
uint16_t, so assigning from uint16_t to uint32_t should be ok too.
If above works for you please send a patch for update also removing
"-fno-strict-aliasing", this can be rebased on existing patch.
If not works, please at least send a patch to add flag to meson build file
Thanks,
