Depending on optimization and compiler used unit test could produce following error:
repos/apache-mynewt-core/kernel/os/selftest/src/msys_test.c: In function ‘os_msys_test_setup’: repos/apache-mynewt-core/kernel/os/selftest/src/msys_test.c:61:30: error: dereferencing type-punned pointer will break strict-aliasing rules [-Werror=strict-aliasing]
61 | context->mempool_list = *(struct os_mempool_list *)&g_os_mempool_list;
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This is because declaration of extern g_os_mempool_list was taken directly from os_mempool.c where this variable is create without specifying type with macro STAILQ_HEAD(, os_mempool) that produces:
struct {
struct os_mempool *stqh_first;
struct os_mempool **stqh_last;
} g_os_mempool_list;
while file mempool_list is same structure but with named type. To make compiler happy g_os_mempool_list is now of type struct os_mempool_list that has same fields and is already declared like this:
STAILQ_HEAD(os_mempool_list, os_mempool);
