meson: C type error in strtod_l/strtof_l probe Future compilers will fail compilation due to the C type error: …/testfile.c: In function 'main': …/testfile.c:12:30: error: passing argument 2 of 'strtod_l' from incompatible pointer type 12 | double d = strtod_l(s, end, loc); | ^~~ | | | char * /usr/include/stdlib.h:416:43: note: expected 'char ** restrict' but argument is of type 'char *' 416 | char **__restrict __endptr, locale_t __loc) | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~ …/testfile.c:13:29: error: passing argument 2 of 'strtof_l' from incompatible pointer type 13 | float f = strtof_l(s, end, loc); | ^~~ | | | char * /usr/include/stdlib.h:420:42: note: expected 'char ** restrict' but argument is of type 'char *' 420 | char **__restrict __endptr, locale_t __loc) | ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~ This means that the probe no longer tests is objective and always fails.
