Re: [Crash-utility] [PATCH v2] Remove the VOID_PTR facilitator macro

I've been wondering about the intended use of this facilitator macro for some time and concluded that it is plainly wrong. It should take a pointer value from a buffer, but what is the use of a pointer that pointed to something on the target machine? Since it cannot be meaningfully dereferenced on the host, the only (arguable) advantage is the ability to do pointer arithmetics on the variables. This second patch does the correct thing wherever pointer arithmetics was done, making the actual calculations more explicit. Signed-off-by: Petr Tesarik <ptesarik(a)suse.cz&gt;
