解决警告：将'const void *'传递给'AV *'类型的参数

Question

编译包含libmba的XS模块我无法用我在C中的初学者级别经验解决此警告：

inline-block

编译后的模块运行正常。但有没有办法在没有警告的情况下对其进行编码？

LCS / XS.xs中的相关部分：

void lcs_LCS(obj, s1, s2)

  PREINIT:
    struct CTX *ctx = (struct CTX *)SvIVX(SvRV(obj));

  PPCODE:
    int d, sn, i;
    struct varray *ses = varray_new(sizeof(struct diff_edit), NULL);

    IV n;
    IV m;
    n = av_top_index(s1);
    m = av_top_index(s2);

    // call libmba::diff()
    d = diff(s1, 0, n, s2, 0, m, &_av_idx, &_cmp_str,  NULL, 0, ses, &sn, NULL);

在mba / diff.c：

typedef const void *(*idx_fn)(const void *s, int idx, void *context);

在不改变libmba源的情况下解决此警告是否有良好的做法？

解决：

int
diff(const void *a, int aoff, int n,
    const void *b, int boff, int m,
    idx_fn idx, cmp_fn cmp, void *context, int dmax,
    struct varray *ses, int *sn,
    struct varray *buf)
{

Well ... in _av_idx you are promising you will not change the contents of the first parameter

inline static const void *_av_idx(const void *a, int idx, void *context)
//                                ^^^^^

But then you proceed to send that parameter to a function (av_fetch(a, idx, 0)) that does not promise to not change it. That makes your promise a little strange.

Just remove your promise ...

inline static const void *_av_idx(void *a, int idx, void *context)
//                       no const ^^^^^^^

Edit

Or you could copy the argument to a local variable and pass that

inline
static const void * 
_av_idx(const void *a, int idx, void *context)
{
   AV *a_copy;
   deep_copy(a_copy, a);
   if (a_copy != NULL) {
       SV *line = *av_fetch(a_copy, idx, 0);
       free(a_copy);
   } else {
       /* error */
   }
   STRLEN klen;
   char *key = SvPVbyte(line, klen);
   //printf("key: %s\n",key);

  return key;
}
