Bug#44491: -Wpointer-arith produces warnings in /usr/include/bits/string2.h

[Jody Goldberg <jgoldberg@home.com>]

Package: libc6-dev
Version: 2.1.2-0pre12
Severity: normal

Compiling with -Wpointer-arith (the default for Gnome)
/usr/include/bits/string2.h: In function `__strcpy_small':
/usr/include/bits/string2.h:419: warning: pointer of type `void *' used in arithmetic
/usr/include/bits/string2.h:427: warning: pointer of type `void *' used in arithmetic
/usr/include/bits/string2.h:432: warning: pointer of type `void *' used in arithmetic
/usr/include/bits/string2.h:437: warning: pointer of type `void *' used in arithmetic
/usr/include/bits/string2.h:439: warning: pointer of type `void *' used in arithmetic
/usr/include/bits/string2.h:444: warning: pointer of type `void *' used in arithmetic

Similar warnings are also produced by any code which calls memset.

NOTE : this is probably the same bug as #42490, hopefully it contains more detail.
