hey list,

i was trying to compile a pd-external which i made some time ago and found that gcc issues a warning – turned into an error – regarding the type of t_newmethod.

 error: cast between incompatible function types from ‘void * (*)(t_symbol *, int,  t_atom *)’ {aka ‘void * (*)(struct _symbol *, int,  struct _atom *)’} to ‘void * (*)(void)’ [-Werror=cast-function-type]
  478 |          (t_newmethod) zmq_new,

now i checked with the external howto on github and couldn't find anything wrong with the code.

the way i understand it, the type should be void * (*)(void) if i would not declare an inlet. since i do declare inlets with A_GIMME, it is my understanding that the function type of t_newmethod should be void * (*)(t_symbol *, int,  t_atom *)

the external loads and seems to run fine, when built without -Werror.

maybe someone can help me fix this.


my class constructor is declared as:

static void *zmq_new(t_symbol *s, int argc, t_atom *argv)


and it's called in class_new like this:

     zmq_class = class_new(gensym("zmq"),
           (t_newmethod) zmq_new,
           (t_method) zmq_destroy,
           sizeof(t_zmq),
           CLASS_DEFAULT, A_GIMME, 0);


the entire code is available at:

thanks a lot,

ub
