Misleading type cast in function modbus_tcp_listen()

[franzhollerer]

There is a misleading type cast in function modbus_tcp_listen().

I think

    if (setsockopt(new_s, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, (char *) &enable, sizeof(enable)) ==

should be replaced by

    if (setsockopt(new_s, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, (void *) &enable, sizeof(enable)) ==

similar to modbus_tcp_pi_listen(), or

    if (setsockopt(new_s, SOL_SOCKET, SO_REUSEADDR, &enable, sizeof(enable)) ==

I prefer the later one as to my understanding there is no type cast needed at this point at all.

dde16d5 breaks Windows builds with GCC 14 and later, requiring -fpermissive in order to compile. Winsock setsockopt uses const char * for optval rather than const void * as it is on POSIX.

int WSAAPI setsockopt(
  [in] SOCKET     s,
  [in] int        level,
  [in] int        optname,
  [in] const char *optval,
  [in] int        optlen
);

GCC 14 and later is strict about pointer casts and rejects the implicit cast from int * to const char *. The explicit char * cast was probably used to silence the warning that is now an error.
