Error: unknown field ‘buffer’ specified in initializer about facil.io HOT 5 CLOSED

@raminfp ,

I'm happy I could help. I guess it's also my fault for mentioning the project requires C11.

Besides, it's better that you open a hundred issues like this than facil.io having a real issue I don't know about 👍🏻

Thanks Again,

Hi @raminfp ,

Thank you for opening this issue.

Could you attach a short example code that produces the compilation error (no need for a valid program, just a line or two of code)...?

The reason I ask is this:

As you noticed, sock_write2 is just a macro for the sock_write2_fn which accepts a sock_write_info_s struct as an argument.

The .buffer field is defined within an anonymous union inside the sock_write_info_s struct.

It's a union of const intptr_t data_fd fd (for file descriptors) and const void *buffer for in memory data, since both can't be used at once.

Because I'm using an anonymous union, this might be a compiler issue... or maybe something else is happening in the code. I want to test this out.

P.S.

I couldn't follow the links since they broke after I committed some changes...

In the future, please use the y key to get GitHub to provide you with a persistent link. These links can survive file changes by linking to a specific version.

Thank you!

Because I'm using an anonymous union, this might be a compiler issue.

maybe! i use gcc version :

[root@localhost core]# gcc --version

That's an old version... I think the oldest I tested against was gcc 4.8.4... I don't have an older copy to test with...

Can you test with a different compiler and see if this helps? ... just to make sure it's not something else...?
