Subject: [PATCH iproute2] ila: fix array overflow warning
Date: Wed,  4 Oct 2023 10:02:58 -0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20231004170258.25575-1-stephen@networkplumber.org> (raw)

Aliasing a 64 bit value seems to confuse Gcc 12.2.
ipila.c:57:32: warning: ‘addr’ may be used uninitialized [-Wmaybe-uninitialized]

Use a union instead.
