error: cast from pointer to smaller type

[SteveLee123]

I use x86_64 gcc and I encounter this error. how can I fix that ?
seems that is because my pointer is 64bits.

still, it's the problem of headers. uintptr_t are the same length of pointers by design.

Please provide the concrete os versions and how to re-produce it, otherwise I cannot handle it.

I got them from google:

'uintptr_t' (aka 'unsigned int') is alwasys 4bytes.
but pointer is 4bytes at 32bit system and 8bytes at 64bit system.

seems that is not about headers.

NO. see https://en.cppreference.com/w/cpp/types/integer

uintptr_t(optional) | unsigned integer type capable of holding a pointer to void(typedef)

I somehow knowns the problem, but I need an environment to reproduce it. Please wait.

A potential solution is to not rely on auto-detection, specify includes by your self. For example:

cppsafe a.cpp -- -isystem/usr/include -isystem/usr/local/include

Remember to replace these -isystem to your local c/c++ includes.

seems that I can't use compile_commands.json if I use --

Can you show me your compile_commands.json?

[SteveLee123]

I will show you part of it tomorrow.

so you still think is because the headers ?
how can I make sure I got the right header by auto-detection?

my header directory search way is like this: #42 (comment)

[SteveLee123]

fix by:
cppsafe -p xxxx a.cpp --extra-arg=-m32

because cppsafe cannot detect my cpu.

Can you show me your compile_commands.json?

I somehow know the reason of why I got so many headers error.

Firstly, I compile my project with gcc7.3.0, so My compile_commands.json is generated by gcc 7.3.0;
Secondly, I upgrate my gcc to 11.4.0, and compile cppsafe .
Lastly, I use cppsafe -p compile_commands.json xxx.cpp.

Are these error all about I use a wrong version of gcc in my compile_commands.json?
And I need to downgrade my gcc to 7.3.0?
Is it right ?

Thanks for helping.
