I’m trying to build iwlwifi
module manually and for my needs.
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/iwlwifi/iwlwifi-fixes.git/tree/net/wireless/
When I run Makefile as make
, I get:
subcmd-util.h: In function ‘xrealloc’:
subcmd-util.h:58:31: error: pointer ‘ptr’ may be used after ‘realloc’ [-Werror=use-after-free]
58 | ret = realloc(ptr, 1);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
subcmd-util.h:52:21: note: call to ‘realloc’ here
52 | void *ret = realloc(ptr, size);
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

cc1: all warnings being treated as errors

Why is it? How to fix it?
If you don’t want to change the code, try disabling the use-after-free warning from the make call:
