[PATCH] Fix userspace compilation of ip_tables.h/ip6_tables.h in C++ mode

From: Jason Gunthorpe <hidden>
Date: 2012-09-30 23:49:07
Also in: lkml
Subsystem: netfilter, the rest · Maintainers: Pablo Neira Ayuso, Florian Westphal, Linus Torvalds

The implicit cast from void * is not allowed for C++ compilers, and the
arithmetic on void * generates warnings in C++ mode.

$ g++ -c t.cc
ip_tables.h:221:24: warning: pointer of type 'void *' used in arithmetic
ip_tables.h:221:24: error: invalid conversion from 'void*' to 'xt_entry_target*'
