The function is :
/* Helper functions */
static __inline__ struct ipt_entry_target *
ipt_get_target(struct ipt_entry *e)
{
return (void *)e + e->target_offset;
}
I probably didn't understand.. but is there any reason to
explicitely cast the pointer to become a 'void *'
when the declaration specifically says it is returning an 'ipt_entry_target *' ?
Shouldn't it be casted to 'ipt_entry_target *' instead ?
Sorry if didn't understand, but I'm just curious.
Have a nice day,
Fabrice.
